Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The electronegativity difference in the bonds of CH4 is:
A
0.4
B
5.9
C
-0.4
D
1.7
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The difference is 0.4, which is rather small. The C–H bond is therefore considered nonpolar. Both hydrogen atoms have the same electronegativity value-2.1. The difference is zero, so the bond is nonpolar.

Detailed explanation-2: -Methane has four C−H bonds. The bonds have
