Vedclass · Answer

(B) The charge of an electron is $q = 1.6 	imes 10^{-19} \ C$. The observed dipole moment of $HBr$ is $\mu_{obs} = 1.6 	imes 10^{-30} \ C \ m$. The interatomic spacing (bond length) is $d = 1 \ \mathring{A} = 1 	imes 10^{-10} \ m$. The theoretical dipole moment for $100\%$ ionic character is $\mu_{theo} = q 	imes d = (1.6 	imes 10^{-19} \ C) 	imes (1 	imes 10^{-10} \ m) = 1.6 	imes 10^{-29} \ C \ m$. The $\%$ ionic character is calculated as: $\frac{\mu_{obs}}{\mu_{theo}} 	imes 100 = \frac{1.6 	imes 10^{-30}}{1.6 	imes 10^{-29}} 	imes 100 = 0.1 	imes 100 = 10\%$.

The dipole moment of $HBr$ is $1.6 \times 10^{-30} \ C \ m$ and interatomic spacing is $1 \ \mathring{A}$. The $\%$ ionic character of $HBr$ is
