1.
If the HF molecule had its real bond length of 0.92 A, but the bond
were 75% ionic (instead of 41%), what would be the observed dipole
moment of HF?
2. The observed dipole moment of the HCl molecule is 1.07 D, and the
distance between atoms is 1.27A. What is the percent ionic character
of the H-Cl bond? Is this more, or less, ionic than the H-F bond?
Chlorine is the element analogous to fluorine in the third row of
the periodic table (see the end of Chapter 3). What does your calculation
tell you about the relative electronegativities of F and Cl?
3. If each of the O-H bonds in water is 33% ionic, as was stated previously
in the chapter, what is the bond dipole moment for each of
the O-H bonds? (The O-H bond length is 0.96 A.)
