Question

Compare the electronegativity value of C in CH4 and CHCl3 wth appropriate reason

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

As carbon in ch3 is more polar (which is more electropositive )CH4 might have more electronegativity as H atoms are less electronegative than Cl atoms

Answer 2

Answer:

Since, we know in the CH4 the electronegativity of the carbon C is more than that of the hydrogen hence the bond moment will orient towards the carbon. So, the electronegativity will be more and dipole moment is less.

While in CHCl3 the electronegativity of the chlorine is more than carbon and electronegativity of hydrogen is less than carbon so there exist a dipole moment exist in this compound and the electronegativity of the carbon decreases.
