MCQ
For $AB$ bond if percent ionic character is plotted against electronegativity difference $(X_A -X_B),$ the shape of the curve would look like The correct curve is 
  • A
    $(A)$
  • B
    $(B)$
  • $(C)$
  • D
    $(D)$

Answer

Correct option: C.
$(C)$
c
$50 \,\%$ ionic character occurs when the electronegativity difference between the atoms is equal to $1.7$. This is evident from curve $C$ and hence is the most appropriate.

$\Delta E . N .=1.7 \Rightarrow 50\,\%$ ionic and $50 \,\%$ covalent

$\Delta E . N .\,>\,1.7 \Rightarrow$ more than $50\, \%$ ionic and less than $50 \,\%$ covalent

$\Delta E . N .\,<\,1.7 \Rightarrow$ less than $50\, \%$ ionic and more than $50\, \%$ covalent
