They have stable electronic configuration
They are all gases
Hanny - smith formula for calculating the percentage of ionic character is
16(xA - x B) + 3.5 (xA - xB)2
16(xA - x B) - 3.5 (xA - xB)2
16(xA - x B)2 - 3.5 (xA - xB)
16(xA - x B)2 + 3.5 (xA - xB)2

- Cl2O>H2O>F2O
- F2O>Cl2O>H2O
- F2O>H2O>Cl2O
you have said that second electron can exchange energy with third electron but third electron cannot do so with second electron. Why is it so. After all exchange takes place when both electrons exchange their energy
