The charge on C atom in C-Mg bond in Grignard reagent is:
Positive
Neutral
Partial negative
Partial positive
The charge on C atom in C-Mg bond in Grignard reagent is partial negative as metals are more electropositive.
Statement 1: The chlorine atom in HCl develops a partial negative charge and hydrogen atoms develop a partial positive charge.
Statement 2: A chlorine atom with a lower electronegativity attracts the shared pair of electrons towards its nucleus.
