Question

Use the periodic table to identify each of the following bonds as polar or nonpolar. C—Cl polar nonpolar

Answer 1

Answer: Polar bonds

Carbon (C) has 4 electrons in the valence electrons whereas chlorine has 7. Each carbon and chlorine (Cl) will form a polar covalent bond.

Non polar bonds, develop where two atoms share a pair of electrons with each other. Hence they are known as Non-polar covalent bonds and they have equal electronegativities

In polar bonds, the electrons are shared unequally between the atoms which as a result increases the electronegativity difference which makes it ionic.

Answer 2

The bond is polar bond.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Carbon belongs to Group no 4 of periodic table which means It's valency is 4.
• While chlorine belongs to 7 group of periodic table and have valency of 1.
• The bond is covalent but it is polar due to electronegativity difference.
• The Cl is more electronegative than C.

So the bond is C—Cl is polar. Carbon is partial positive while chlorine is partial negative.
