Answer:

Using Pauling's scale—C (2.55) and H (2.2)—the electronegativity difference between these two atoms is 0.35. ... Because of this small difference in electronegativities, the C−H bond is generally regarded as being non-polar. In structural formulas of molecules, the hydrogen atoms are often omitted
