Assertion (A) : The C-C bond in ethane is non-polar while the C-C bond in ethyl chloride is polar. Reason(R) : Chlorine is more electronegative than carbon and hence it attracts the shared paired of electron between C - CI in ethyl chloride and it develops a negative charge on CI andpositive charge on Carbon.
