Question 41 NECO • 2023 • CHEMISTRY • objective

The electronegativities of sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl) are \(0.93\) and \(3.16\) respectively. Using the formula \(\%\text{ ionic} = \bigl(1 - e^{-0.25(\Delta EN)^2}\bigr) \times 100\), where \(\Delta EN\) is the difference in electronegativity, determine the percent ionic character of the NaCl bond, rounded to the nearest whole number, and state the type of bond (ionic, polar covalent or non‑polar covalent) based on the \(\Delta EN\) value.

Answer Options

Correct Answer A. 71% ionic character; ionic bond
B. 71% ionic character; polar covalent bond
C. 68% ionic character; ionic bond
D. 73% ionic character; ionic bond
Correct Answer
A
Correct Option:
71% ionic character; ionic bond
