The values of electronegativity of atom A and B are 1.20 and 4.0 respectively. The percentage of ionic character of A - B bond is nearly
Correct answer
72.24
Step-by-step solution
% ionic character of a bond is determined with the help of Hanny-Smith's equation. % ionic characters =1 .6 ( ΔEN ) +3 .5 ( ΔEN ) 2 Where, ΔEN = difference of electronegativity = 4 .0 − 1 .2 = 2 .80 So, % ionic character =1 .6 ( 2 .80 ) +3 .5 ( 2 .80 ) 2 = 72.24 %
