Carbon-hydrogen bonds

A carbon-hydrogen bond is a single bond between carbon and hydrogen atoms, most commonly found in organic compounds. Carbon-hydrogen bonds have a bond length of 1.09 Å (1.09 × 10-10 m) and a bond energy of 413 kJ/mol. Using Paulings scale; C (2.5), H (2.1) the electronegativity difference between these two atoms is 0.4. The bond type this electronegativity difference determines is generally regarded as being non-polar.
