Chemistry - PERIODIC TABLE Question with Solution | TestHub

% ionic character of a bond is determined with the help of Hanny-Smith's equation.

% ionic characters$\text{=1}\text{.6}\left(\text{ΔEN}\right)\text{+3}\text{.5}{\left(\text{ΔEN}\right)}^{\text{2}}$

Where,$\text{ΔEN}$$=$difference of electronegativity$=$

$\text{4}\text{.0}-\text{1}\text{.2 = 2}\text{.80}$

So, % ionic character$\text{=1}\text{.6}\left(\text{2}\text{.80}\right)\text{+3}\text{.5}{\left(\text{2}\text{.80}\right)}^{\text{2}}=72.24\%$
