Question

If a polar covalent bond shows 50% ionic character, then the electronegativity difference of the atoms that form the bond is :

• A. more than 1.7
• B. equal to 1.7
• C. less than 1.7
• D. much greater than 1.7

Answer 1

The correct option is B equal to 1.7

If a polar covalent bond shows 50% ionic character, then the electronegativity difference of the atoms that form the bond is 1.7
