If the bond length and dipole moment of a diatomic molecule are 1.25 ~A and 1.0 D respectively, what is the per cent ionic character of the bond?
Options
- A10.66
- B12.33
- C16.66
- D19.33
Correct answer
C. 16.66
Step-by-step solution
experimental = Dipole moment 10⁻¹⁸ theoretical = Bond length 4.8 10⁻¹⁰ 10⁻⁸ esu cm Per cent ionic character = _ experimental _ theoretical 100= 1.0 10⁻¹⁸ 100 1.25 4.8 10⁻¹⁰ 10⁻⁸ =16.66 %
