Data for four gaseous diatomics: P (, ), Q (, ), R (, ), S (, ) as (, ). Use percent ionic character with and . Which statements are correct?

  1. AP has a percent ionic character between and
  2. BR is more than times as ionic as P
  3. CQ is the least ionic of the four
  4. DS is more than ionic

Answer: A, B, C

Percent ionic character values: P 17.9%, Q 11.8%, R 81.6%, S 42.9%. P lies between 17% and 19%, R/P is 4.56 (above 4), and Q has the lowest value. S is 42.9%, which is below 50%, so statement 4 is false.
