Chapter 6.2, Problem 6.3WE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: The percent ionic character of $\text{HI}$ 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 percent ionic character of $\text{HI}$
