Find out the correct order of ionic character in the following molecules i  SO2     ii  K2O     iii  N2    iv  LiF

  1. A iv>ii>iii>i
  2. B iv>ii>i>iii
  3. C ii>iv>i>iii
  4. D ii>iv>iii>i
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) iv>ii>i>iii

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

LiF electronegativity difference is (4.0 - 1.0)=3.0 so LiF is a most ionic compound. and N2 has same atom so, electronegative difference is zero. SO2 atom has less electronegativity difference compare to K2O EN difference α  Ionic character
