Oxygen is more electronegative; meaning that it has a 'liking' for electrons since it would like to fill up it's valency. Therefore it seeks to pull the electron between itself and carbon more strongly.
The bond between carbon and chlorine in CH3Cl is a polar covalent bond. The chlorine atom is more electronegative than the carbon atom, causing the shared electrons to be unequally shared, leading to a partial negative charge on the chlorine atom and a partial positive charge on the carbon atom.
The bonds between atoms in benzene are molecular, specifically covalent bonds. Benzene is a hydrocarbon composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms held together by shared pairs of electrons. The electrons are shared between atoms, resulting in a stable molecular structure.
No, carbon does not typically form metallic bonds. Metallic bonds are formed between metal atoms, where electrons are free to move throughout the structure. Carbon tends to form covalent bonds, where electrons are shared between atoms.
Carbon typically shares 4 electrons to complete its valence shell, forming covalent bonds with other atoms. Carbon has 4 valence electrons, so by sharing these electrons with other atoms, it can achieve a full octet and become more stable.
B. Electrons are shared. Covalent bonds involve the sharing of electrons between atoms.
