Which of the following functional groups would make a carbon-based compound the least polar?
Which of the following functional groups would make a carbon-based compound the least polar?
The methyl group is the only non-polar functional group in our class list above. The methyl group consists of a carbon atom bound to 3 hydrogen atoms. In this class we will treat these C-H bonds as effectively nonpolar covalent bonds.
