Chapter 6, Problem 6.91QP

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The percent ionic character of $\text{RbF}$ and $\text{RbI}$ should be determined. The difference between the percent ionic characters of two molecules should be stated.

Concept Introduction:

• Percent ionic character is used get an idea about the type of bond. It is the percentage of ratio of observed dipole moment and calculated dipole moment.
• $\text{The percent ionic character}\text{=}\frac{\text{μ}\left(\text{observed}\right)}{\text{μ}\left(\text{calculated}\text{assuming}\text{discrete}\text{charges}\right)}\text{×100}\text{\%}$

To determine: The percent ionic character for given molecules and difference between percent ionic characters for the two molecules.
