The electronegativity values of $F, Cl, Br,$ and $I$ are $4.0, 3.0, 2.8,$ and $2.5$ respectively. Which hydrogen halide has the highest percentage of ionic character?

Assertion : Electron affinity refers to an isolated atom's attraction for an additional electron while electronegativity is the ability of an atom of an element to attract electrons towards itself in a shared pair of electrons.
Reason : Electron affinity is a relative number and electronegativity is experimentally measurable.

In the compound $M-O-H$,the $M-O$ bond will be broken if

Given below are two statements :
Statement $I$ : The electronegativity of group $14$ elements from $Si$ to $Pb$ gradually decreases.
Statement $II$ : Group $14$ contains non-metallic,metallic,as well as metalloid elements.
In the light of the above statements,choose the most appropriate from the options given below :

Let electronegativity,ionisation energy and electron affinity be represented as $EN$,$IP$ and $EA$ respectively. Which one of the following equations is correct according to Mulliken?
