Answer:

Yes

Step-by-step explanation:

EN of C = 2.55

EN of H = 2.20

ΔEN = 0.30

Yes, there is a small electronegativity difference.

It means that a C-H bond is slightly polar — about 97 % covalent and 3 % ionic character.

That is such a small difference that we often say a C-H bond is nonpolar.
