Refer to the figure below. H3C--OH What type of chemical bond connects the carbon and oxygen atoms in the molecule shown? a) Nonpolar covalent bond b) Asymmetric bond c) Polar covalent bond d) Hydrogen bond
The answer is c) Polar covalent bond. This is because Oxygen is more electro negative than Carbon, there by delocalizing the electrons towards itself. This results in a charge separation across the bond making it more Polar.
