4. Explain the nature of the covalent bond using the bond formation in CH3Cl.

Question:

Explain the nature of the covalent bond using the bond formation in CH₃Cl.

Answer:

Covalent bond formation in CH₃Cl

In this structure three hydrogen atoms are linked to carbon by covalent bond and there is also covalent bond between carbon and chlorine, but chlorine is more negative than carbon so it forms a polar covalent bond.
