Chapter 8, Problem 133RQ

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The percentage of full $1+$ and $1-$ charges which are carried by $\text{K}$ and $\text{F}$ atoms, respectively is to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Ionic compound is a compound in which positive and negative ions are held together by electrostatic forces.

The evaluation of polarity of a chemical bond within a polar molecule is considered as its dipole moment and it is represented as $\mu$.

Dipole moments are expressed in Debye units which is represented as $\text{D}$, where

$1\text{D}=3.34\times {10}^{-30}\text{Cm}\left(\text{coulomb}\times \text{meter}\right)$.
