QUESTION:
List the following bonds in order of increasing ionic character: the lithium-to-fluorine bond in LiF, the potassium-to-oxygen bond in K2O, the nitrogen-to-nitrogen bond in N2, the sulfur-tooxygen bond in SO2, the chlorine-to-fluorine bond in ClF3.
ANSWER:Step 1 of 2
The ionic character of a bond is determined by the difference in electronegativity of the atoms constituting in the formation of bonds. The higher the electronegativity difference, the higher will be the ionic character of the bonds.
