Why are the molecules of hydrocarbons nonpolar?

Chemistry

<span>Because hydrocarbons consist only C-H bonds, which are non-polar. When you look at the table of electronegativity (Pauling scale), you see, that the difference between the electronegativities of carbon and hydrogen is much smaller than that of nitrogen and hydrogen.

<span>This is not the case in the hydrocarbon tail. The electronegativity of hydrogen and carbon are very similar, so the electron cloud is distributed evenly over the two atoms. Carbon-hydrogen bonds are said to be non-polar because they do not have positive and negative poles within themselves. Hope this helps. </span>

Answer:

Protons and neutrons

Explanation:

The particles to forms the nucleus of an atom are the protons and neutrons of the atoms.

These materials are located in the tiny nucleus and contributes the most mass of the atom.

  • Protons are the positively charged particles in an atom
  • Neutrons do not carry any charges.
  • Sum of the protons and neutrons gives the mass number of the atom.
