JEE Mains · Chemistry · STD 11 - 4. Chemical bonding and molecular structure

Arrange the bonds in order of increasing ionic character in the molecules.
[\(\mathrm{LiF}, \mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{O}, \mathrm{N}_2, \mathrm{SO}_2\) and \(\mathrm{CIF}_3\)]

  1. A \(\mathrm{CIF}_3<\mathrm{N}_2<\mathrm{SO}_2<\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{O}<\mathrm{LiF}\)
  2. B \(\mathrm{LiF}<\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{O}<\mathrm{CIF}_3<\mathrm{SO}_2<\mathrm{N}_2\)
  3. C \(\mathrm{N}_2<\mathrm{SO}_2<\mathrm{CIF}_3<\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{O}<\mathrm{LiF}\)
  4. D \(\mathrm{N}_2<\mathrm{CIF}_3<\mathrm{SO}_2<\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{O}<\mathrm{LiF}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\mathrm{N}_2<\mathrm{SO}_2<\mathrm{CIF}_3<\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{O}<\mathrm{LiF}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Increasing order of ionic character \(\mathrm{N}_2<\mathrm{SO}_2<\mathrm{ClF}_3<\mathrm{K}_2 \mathrm{O}<\mathrm{LiF}\) Ionic character depends upon difference of electronegativity (bond polarity).
