The electronegativity difference between a carbon atom  2.55  and a hydrogen atom  2.20  in a methane molecule can be calculated by subtracting the electronegativity of hydrogen from that of carbon:Electronegativity difference = Carbon electronegativity - Hydrogen electronegativityElectronegativity difference = 2.55 - 2.20Electronegativity difference = 0.35So, the electronegativity difference between carbon and hydrogen in a methane molecule is 0.35.
