Chemistry Question on Bond Parameters
The bond length of HCl bond is 2.29×10−10m. The percentage ionic character of HCl, if measured dipole moment is 6.226×10−30Cm is
A
8%
B
20%
C
17%
D
50%
Answer
17%
Explanation
Solution
μcal=q×d=1.6×10−19×2.29×10−10.
=3.664×10−29Cm
% ionic character = μcalμexp×100
=3.664×10−296.226×10−30×100=17%
