Identify the compound with the highest percent ionic character. A) HBr B) IBr C) H₂ D) KF E) CCl₄

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The compound with the highest percent ionic character will have the greatest difference in electronegativity between the cation and anion. K has an electronegativity of 0.82, while F has an electronegativity of 3.98. The difference in electronegativity is therefore 3.16, indicating a high percent ionic character.
