Explain the nature of the covalent bond using the bond formation in `CH_(3)Cl`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The strucutre of `CH_(3)Cl` is given below.

Carbon has four valence electrons. It shares 1 electron each with 3 hydrogen atoms and 1 electron with chlorine. The bond between C and Cl atoms is covalent but due to higher value of electro-negativity of Cl, the C-Cl bond is polar in nature.
