Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Octane is a hydrocarbon with only carbon-carbon and carbon-hydrogen bonds. These bonds are all considered nonpolar covalent bonds, meaning that electrons are shared equally between atoms. There are no polar covalent bonds as all atoms involved in bonding have the same or very similar electronegativity values. There are also no hydrogen bonds or ionic bonds present in octane.
