The study of diple moment of a molecule is useful to explain the shape of a molecule and also to predict a The net dipole moment of a polyatomic molecule is the resltant of the different bond moments present in that molecule . The values are generalluy expressed in Debye or in the S.I. units in terms of Coulomb meter (C m) A covalent molecule , X-Y is found to have a dipole moment of1.5 xx10^(-29) C m and a bond length of 150 pm . The per cent ionic character of the bond will be

Answer»

`50%`
`62.5%`
`75%`
`90%`

Solution :`mu_("calculated")=(1.602 xx10^(-19) C) xx (150 xx 10^(-12)m)`
` = 2.4 xx 10^(-29) `C m
`mu_("calculated")=1.5 xx10^(-29) C m`
`therefore % `ionic CHARACTER`=(1.5 xx10^(-29) ) / (2.4xx 10^(-29)) XX100 = 62.5%`
