QUESTION:
a. Which of the following has a nonpolar covalent bond?
b. Which of the following has a bond closest to the ionic end of the bond spectrum?
\(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{NH}_{2} \quad \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{3} \quad \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{~F} \quad \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}\)
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 3
Here we have to find out which of the following has formed nonpolar covalent bond and which one is closest to the ionic end of the bond spectrum.
The given molecules are
\(\mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{NH}_{2} \quad \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{CH}_{3} \quad \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{~F} \quad \mathrm{CH}_{3} \mathrm{OH}\)
Nonpolar covalent bond:
A molecule is said to form a nonpolar covalent bond when the electronegativities of the two atoms are equal.That means both the atom involved equal sharing of the bond electrons.
