The bond length of \(\mathrm{HCl}\) molecule is \(1.275 Å\) and its dipole moment is \(1.03 \mathrm{D}\). The ionic character of the molecule (in percent) (charge of the electron \(=4.8 \times 10^{-10} \mathrm{esu}\) ) is

  1. A \(100\)
  2. B \(67.3\)
  3. C \(33.6\)
  4. D \(16.83\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(16.83\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, observed dipole moment \(=1.03 \mathrm{D}\) Bond length of \(\mathrm{HCl}\) molecule, \(d=1.275 Å\) \[ =1.275 \times 10^{-8} \mathrm{~cm} \] Charge of electron, \(\quad e^{-}=4.8 \times 10^{-10}\) esu Percentage ionic character \(=\) ? Theoretical value of dipole moment…
