Calculate the percentage ionic character of $H C l$ molecule. The bond length is $1.275 A^{o}$ and observed dipole moment is $1.03 D$ .

Open in App

Solution

Given, Observed dipole moment = 1.03 D
Theoretical bond length = 4.8 $\times$ bond length
Percentage ionic character = $\frac{μ_{e x p e r i m e n t a l}}{μ_{t h e o r e t i c a l}} \times 100 = \frac{1.03}{1.275 \times 4.8} \times 100 ≃ 17 %$
