Question

What type of chemical bonding is present in the following compound?

                                          CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂Br

Answer 1

With respect to electronegativity, halogens are more electronegative than carbons. This results in a carbon-halogen bond that is polarized. In this compound, the carbon atom has a partial positive charge, while the bromine has a partial negative charge.

Another type of bond is the covalent bond between C-H or C-C which involves the sharing of electron pairs between described atoms.
