A hydrogen atoms binds to a carbon atom by sharing an electron pair... a covalent bond. Covalent bonds are formed by non-metals, like hydrogen and carbon; ionic bonds are formed by metals and non-metals, like NaCl.

What type of bond is CH?

CH is a covalent bond, specifically a single covalent bond between the carbon and hydrogen atoms. This type of bond involves the sharing of electrons between the atoms.


Is CH single bond or double bond?

CH compound does not exist. So it has no bonds.


What is the correct name for the compound CH3CH2CH(DOUBLE BOND)CH-CH2-CH(DOUBLE BOND)CH-CH?

You think probable to cycloocta-1,5-diene.


What type of bond is CHOH?

CH-OH is a covalent bond. In this bond, carbon shares electrons with oxygen and hydrogen to form a molecular structure.


Is CH ionic or covalent?

C-H is a covalent bond because the electronegativity varies by less than 0.5 units


What is the name of an organic compound that contains carbon hydrogen and at least one triple covalent bond?

An example of an organic compound that contains carbon, hydrogen, and at least one triple covalent bond is acetylene, which has the chemical formula C2H2. Triple covalent bonds are formed when two atoms share three pairs of electrons, resulting in a strong bond between the atoms.


What are CH and OH bonds?

Ch and OH bonds are covalent in nature. Ch bond is non -polar while OH bond is polar covalent bond.


What is the chemical bond of the CC in H3CCH3?

It is a SINGLE COVALENT bond. Structurally it is shown as H3C-CH3 , which is the alkane , named ethane. Do neither confuse with a DOUBLE COVALENT bond, nor a TRIPLE COVALENT bond. These last two are different functional groups. Double covalent bond is H2C=CH2, which is the alkEne, named ethEne. Triple covalent bond is HC///CH, which is the alkYne, named ethYne. Note the number of hydrogens in each functional group. Note the number of bonds between carbons in each group. Note the one letter change in the Functional Group name , and the Chemical name.


Is C H a polar covalent or non polar covalent bond?

CH is a nonpolar covalent bond because carbon and hydrogen have similar electronegativities, leading to equal sharing of electrons between them. This results in a balanced distribution of charge and no significant dipole moment across the bond.


Is a covalent bond a double bond?

You misunderstand. A covalent Bond can be a Single covalent bond, A Double Covalent Bond or a Triple Covalent Bond. In each case the electrons are shared , NOT ionised. As an analogy, its a bit like 'linking arms'. The linked arm(electron) remains attached to the parent body(atom), but is linked/interlocked with an arm(electron) attached to the next parent body(atom). Examples Single Covalent bond ; Ethane H3C-CH3 Double Covalent bond ; Ethene H2C=CH2 Triple Covalent bond ; Ethyne HC=CH


Is polystyrene a element compound or mixture?

Polystyrene is definitely a compound. It is addition polymer compound. As a compound it is and alkene (ethene) with a phenyl group in place of one of the hydrogens. H2C = CH ){Phenyl) The alkene bond opens and polymerises (chaions up) with another alkene bond. -H2C-CH(Ph) -CH2- CH(Ph) -
