Interpretation:
The percentage ionic character of bond in HF is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
The magnitude of partial charges is calculated by the expression as follows:
Here,
The value of dipole moment is measured in Coulomb meter and the bond length should be taken in meter.
Percentage ionic character is defined as the ratio of observed dipole moment to calculated dipole moment.
The percentage ionic character is calculated by the expression as follows:

- Practice Exercise 1Although it is helpful to know that many ions have the electronarrangement of a noble gas, many elements, especially among themetals, form ions that do not have a noble-gas electron arrangement.Use the periodic table, Figure 2.14, to determine which ofthe following ions has a noble-gas electron arrangement, andwhich do not. For those that do, indicate the noble-gas arrangementthey match: (a) Ti4+, (b) Mn2+, (c) Pb2+, (d) Te2- , (e) Zn2+.arrow_forwardexplain difference between non-polar and polar covalent compound along with example of this type of bond in clear handwritten answer!arrow_forwardLearning Goal: To use electronegativity or metal versus nonmetal classifications to distinguish covalent, polar covalent, and ionic bonds. When two bonded atoms attract electrons with equal strength, the result is a nonpolar covalent bond. A polar covalent bond is one in which the electrons are unequally shared between the atoms. An ionic bond results when the sharing is so unequal that fully charged ions form. Electronegativity difference can be used to predict bond type. If electronegativities differ by more than 2 units, the bond is substantially ionic; if they differ by less than 2 units, the bond is polar covalent; and if the values are equal, the bond is nonpolar covalent. If you are not given electronegativity values, you can still predict the bond type using the periodic table. Metals have low electronegativity compared to nonmetals. So in general, we can predict that ary metal-nonmetal combination will be ionic and any nonmetal-nonmetal combination will be covalent. If…arrow_forward

- Given the compounds NaF, Na3N and Na2O. (Na2O, NaF, Na3N) has the highest lattice energy because it has the (largest sizes, smallest charges, smallest sizes, or largest charges) which results in the (weakest, strongest) attraction between the ions. please chose correct option from each set of parantheses.arrow_forwardResonance Forms Question (b) Draw two resonance forms for nitrite ion, NO2−. What can yousay about the geometry of this molecule (linear or bent)? (Hint: Consider the effect of electron repulsion exerted by the lone pair on nitrogen.) (c) The possibility of valence-shell expansion increases the number of feasibleresonance forms, and it is often difficult to decide on one that is “best.” Onecriterion that is used is whether the Lewis structure predicts bond lengths andbond angles with reasonable accuracy. Draw Lewis octet and valence-shellexpanded resonance forms for SO2(OSO). Considering the Lewis structure for SO (Exercise 1-8), its experimental bond length of1.48Å, and the measured S–O distance in SO2 of 1.43Å, which one of the various structures would you consider “best”. Explain your answer in depth, clarity and with details and in a step-by-step fashion.arrow_forwardI am wondering why there is a need for resoance structures if the molecule already has a neutral charge. Wouldn't these all be insignificant resonance structures (as there is unnecessary charge separation)? Perhaps they are only depicting these structures for the purpose of showing high/low electron density (which was what the question was asking for)? 1 picture shows answer, another shows problem (it is (b)).arrow_forward
