Arrange the bonds in order of increasing ionic character in the molecules. LiF , K 2 O , N 2 , SO 2 and ClF…
Solution
The ionic character in a molecule is dependent upon the electronegativity difference between the constituting atoms. The greater the difference, the greater will be the ionic character of the molecule.
The Ionic character depends upon the difference in electronegativity (bond polarity).
is a covalent molecule & the difference in electrongegativities are:
|XS – X0|
|XCl – XF|
|XK – X0|
|XLi – XF|
