Question

Explain percent ionic character of a bond. explain percent ionic character of a bond. percent ionic character is defined as the ratio of a bond's actual dipole moment to the dipole moment it would have if the electron were completely shared between two atoms, multiplied by 100. percent ionic character is defined as the ratio of a bond's actual dipole moment to the dipole moment it would have if the electron were completely transferred from one atom to the other, multiplied by 1000. percent ionic character is defined as the ratio of a bond's actual dipole moment to the dipole moment it would have if the electron were completely transferred from one atom to the other, divided by 100. percent ionic character is defined as the ratio of a bond's actual dipole moment to the dipole moment it would have if the electron were completely transferred from one atom to the other, multiplied by 100.

Answer 1

The percent ionic character of a bond refers to A BOND'S ACTUAL DIPOLE MOMENT TO THE DIPOLE MOMENT IT WOULD HAVE IF ELECTRONS WERE TRANSFER COMPLETELY FROM ATOM TO THE OTHER MULTIPLY BY 100%. 
Based on this definition, a covalent bond with equal sharing of the charge density will have 0% while a perfect ionic bond will have 100% ionic character. The percent ionic character increases as the electronegativity differences increases
