Hydrogen Carbon Bonding
In a carbon-Hydrogen bond which are correct?
A: The electrons spend more time around the carbon atom because it has the bigger nucleus
B: neither atom ends up with a significant partial charge
C: the electrons are shared equally by the two atoms
D: the Hydrogen is a good candidate for forming Hydrogen interactions (H-bonds)
*question might have more than one answer*
“b” and “c” are correct, because both elements have a similar electronegativity.
