The electronegativities of F, `Cl`, `Br`, and `I` are `4.0, 3.0, 2.8`, and `2.5`, respectively. The hydrogen halide with a high percentage of ionic character isA. `HF`B. `HCl`C. `HBr`D. `HI` |
Answer» Correct Answer - A Percentage ionic character is directly related to the electronegativity difference. Thus, on account of the highest electronegativity difference, `HF` has the maximum ionic character. The correct order is `HFgtHClgtHBrgtHI` |
