Question

Arrange the following bonds in order pf increasing ionic character giving reason N-H,F-H,C-H AND O-H

Answer 1

Order of increasing ionic character:

C-H, N-H, O-H and F-H

To arrange the molecules in the increasing order of ionic character, we have to look at the elctronegativity difference.

Because ionic character is greater in the molecules that are having greatest electronegativity difference.

So, the electronegativity difference order in the molecules is as follows:

C-H<N-H<O-H< F-H

Therefore the ionic character order will be:

C-H<N-H<O-H< F-H
