The elements C and Se have the same electronegativity value, 2.55. Which of the following claims about the compound that forms from C and Se is most likely to be true?

A. The carbon-to-selenium bond is unstable.
B. The carbon-to-selenium bond is nonpolar covalent.
C. The compound has the empirical formula CSe.
D. A molecule of the compound will have a partial negative charge on the carbon atom.

Having the same electronegativity means that the both elements will form a nonpolar bond. The shared electrons of the bind will be found equidistant from the nucleus of the two atoms because none has an unusual ability to attract the electrons of a bond towards itself.

The carbon-to-selenium bond is nonpolar covalent because of similar electronegativity value.

When two elements have same electronegativity value then the electron pair remains in the middle of both elements and the bond is non-polar in nature while on the other hand, when two elements having different electronegativity values then the electron pair moves towards high electronegativity value and the bond will be polar in nature so we can conclude that carbon-selenium bond is nonpolar in nature.
