A. Weak energy bond
B. strong energy bond
C. negligible energy bond
D. Unknown energy bond
To determine the type of bond present between carbon and hydrogen in a glucose molecule, we can look at the electronegativity values of carbon and hydrogen.
In general, carbon has an electronegativity value of 2.5, while hydrogen has an electronegativity value of 2.1. Since the difference in electronegativity between carbon and hydrogen is small, the carbon-hydrogen bond is considered to be nonpolar covalent.
A nonpolar covalent bond is a type of chemical bond where the electrons are shared equally between the atoms involved. In this case, the electrons in the carbon-hydrogen bond are shared almost equally, resulting in a relatively strong bond.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. strong energy bond.
