Chapter 6.2, Problem 3PPB

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The measured dipole moment of $\text{NaI}$ bond should be determined.

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 dipole moment of $\text{NaI}$
