Question #15623

calculate % ionic character of K---Cl bond in KCL. electro negativity of K and CL are 0.8, and 3.0 respectively

Expert's answer

% ionic = [1-e^(-1/4)(a-b)]100
[1-e^(-1/4)(3.0-0.8)]100 = 48.66%


e is base of natural log
a-b is the difference between electronegativity values of the 2 atoms
