Question

Which of the following relation is/are correct?

• A. Covalent character $\alpha \frac{1}{Dipolemoment}$
• B. Covalent character $\alpha$ Pseudo inert configuration
• C. Ionic character $\alpha$ Inert configuration
• D. Ionic character $\alpha \frac{1}{Dipolemoment}$

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (B)

Covalent character $\alpha$ Pseudo inert configuration
Covalent character $\alpha \frac{1}{Dipolemoment}$

The options A, and B represent correct relationship.
The covalent character is inversely proportional to the dipole moment. The molecules with high dipole moment are polar in nature and are predominately ionic in nature.
Covalent character is directly proportional to pseudo inert gas configuration. When the cation has pseudo noble gas electronic configuration (18 electrons in the valence shell), the molecule will have higher covalent character.
Ionic character is inversely proportional to inert gas configuration.
