what is the correct answer
Answered by GPT-4 Turbo
The methyl group is nonpolar. It consists of a carbon atom attached to three hydrogen atoms (-CH3). This arrangement does not have a significant difference in electronegativity between the carbon and hydrogen atoms, which means that electrons are shared relatively equally and there is no significant dipole moment. As a result, the methyl group does not have a charge and is considered nonpolar.
