Question

Dipolemoment of HCl is 1.03 d,bond length is 1.27 angstrom.Calculate the % character of HCl bond​

Answer 1

Answer:

The percent ionic character =

Calculated dipole moment (assuming 100% ionic bond)

Observed dipole moment

× 100.

So, dipole moment (assuming 100% ionic bond) =e×d=4.8×10

−10

×1.275×10

−8

=6.12×10

−18

.

So, percent ionic character =(1.03/6.12)×100≈17 %
