    The dipole moment of HBr is \[2.60\times {{10}^{-30}}\,\text{cm}\]and the interatomic spacing is \[1.41\,\overset{\text{o}}{\mathop{\text{A}}}\,.\] What is the per cent ionic character of HBr?

    A) 50%                       

    B) 11.5%   

    C)        4.01%  

    D)        1.19%

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Theoretical value of dipole moment of 100% ionic character\[=e\times d\] \[=(1.6\,\times \,{{10}^{-19}}C)(1.41\times {{10}^{-10}}m)\] \[=2.26\times {{10}^{-29}}\,Cm\] Observed value of dipole moment \[=2.60\times {{10}^{-30}}Cm\] \[\therefore \] Percent ionic character \[\text{=}\frac{\text{observed}\,\text{value}}{\text{theoretical}\,\text{value}}\text{ }\!\!\times\!\!\text{ 100}\] \[\text{=}\frac{2.60\times {{10}^{-30}}}{2.26\times {{10}^{-29}}}\times 100\] \[=11.5%\]
