प्रश्न
Explain the nature of the covalent bond using the bond formation in CH3Cl.
उत्तर
The structure of CH3Cl is given below:
The molecule of chloromethane (CH₃Cl) is made up of three elements: carbon (Z = 6), hydrogen (Z = 1), and chlorine (Z = 17). Carbon has four valence electrons (2, 4), hydrogen has one (1), and chlorine has seven valence electrons (2, 8, 7). To achieve a full octet, carbon shares three of its valence electrons with three hydrogen atoms, and the fourth electron is shared with the chlorine atom.
