The hcl(g) molecule has a bond length of 127 pm and a dipole moment of 1.08 d. without doing detailed calculations, determine the best estimate for its percent ionic character.

Let us assume that this molecule is 100 percent ionic. In that case, the charges are distinguished by a bond length.

h = Q × r

= (160 × 10⁻¹⁹ c) (127 × 10⁻¹² m) (10 / 3.336 × 10⁻³⁰ cm)

= 6.09 D.

The actual dipole moment is = 1.08 D

Therefore, the percent ionic character is,

= 1.08 D / 6.09 D × 100

= 17.7 %.

explanation:

venn diagram is pictorial representation with of circles showing the relation between two finite sets or things. the intersection part of two circles conveys the relation present in between those sets or things.

here in the venn diagram of sand and salt two circles represent sand and salt. but the area falling under the intersection of these circle represents the mixture of sand and salt.

so, in a venn diagram the mixture will be placed in a middle that is in between the intersection of two circles.
