Question

diference between electronagativity of carbon and oxigen

Answer 1

Since two oxygen atoms make up a molecule of oxygen (O2) , the difference in electronegativity is |3.44−3.44|=0 . ... The electronegativity of a carbon atom is 2.55. The ΔEN between carbon and oxygen is |2.55−3.44|=0.89 . Therefore the bond is polar covalent and the electrons are not shared equally.
