It is polar because it has 3 C-H bonds and 1 C-Cl bond, so when you find the difference of the electronegativity values (C)2.55-(H)2.20=0.35 and (Cl)3.16-(C)2.55=0.61. So one of the arrows for the polarity points towards Chlorine, and the other three point towards Carbon from the 3 Hydrogens. The Lewis structure looks like this:
..
:Cl:
l
H - C - H
l
H
So here's the thing, the Cl is more negative than the C because the Cl has a higher electronegativity charge. And the C is more negative compared with the H because the C has a higher electronegativity charge than the H's. Therefore it is polar which means it has exposed ends (in this case the H's and Cl) with opposite partial charges.

∙ 9y agoEach C-H bond is polar since carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen, and the C-Cl bond is polar since chlorine is more electronegative than either carbon or hydrogen. Each hydrogen atom will take on a partial positive charge, and the chlorine atom will take on a partial negative charge resulting in a net dipole since the dipoles will not cancel out owing to the difference in the electronegativities of carbon, hydrogen and chlorine.

Is CH3Cl a hydrogen bond?
No. There is no hydrogen bond in chloromethane.
Use Lewis structures and vsepr theory to determine which ch4 and ch3cl are polar and non-polar?
CH3Cl is polar, CH4 is not. You'll have to do your own Lewis structures, and I'm personally a little mystified as to exactly what VSEPR has to do with it (if you were comparing CH4 with NH3 instead, then you'd need VSEPR).
Is CHCl3 polar bond?
I think you have a typo in your molecular formula but CH3Cl is a polar molecule and CCL4 is a non-polar molecule
What type of bond is CH3Cl?
CH3Cl is a polar bond. CH3Cl has a bond of three CH molecules and 1 bond of 1 C-Cl. The bond consists of a tetrahedral structural formation.
Which one of these have a high boiling point CH3Cl or K2S?
K2S will have high boiling point than CH3Cl.
Is CH3Cl a hydrogen bond?
No. There is no hydrogen bond in chloromethane.
In the compound CH3CL the bond between carbon and chlorine is?
Polar Covalent

CH3Cl is a polar bond. CH3Cl has a bond of three CH molecules and 1 bond of 1 C-Cl. The bond consists of a tetrahedral structural formation.
Would ch3cl mix with h2o?
Yes, due to the fact that the C and CL have a non-polar relationship and H2O also is very non-polar. Like dissolves like, and you get your mix.
Which one of these have a high boiling point CH3Cl or K2S?
K2S will have high boiling point than CH3Cl.
What intermolecular forces are in cl2?
Dispersion
Is CH3Cl soluble in water?
Yes.
What is the type of intermolecular forces of ch3cl?
The molecule CH3Cl has covalent bonds. In all chemical bonds, the type of force involved is electromagnetic.
Is the c-cl bond in ch3cl ionic bond?
Yes. In CH3Cl, there is one C-Cl bond and three C-H bond.
What is the equation for BCl3?
CH4 + Cl2 → CH3Cl + HCl CH3Cl + Cl2 → CH2Cl2 + HCl CH2Cl2 + Cl2 → CHCl3 + HCl
