JEE Advanced levelOne or more correct optionsDifficulty 3 of 3cb209
Data for four gaseous diatomics: P (1.10D, 128pm), Q (0.80D, 141pm), R (9.2D, 235pm), S (3.5D, 170pm) as (μobs, d). Use percent ionic character =100μobs/(ed) with e=1.6×10−19C and 1D=3.336×10−30Cm. Which statements are correct?
AP has a percent ionic character between 17% and 19%
BR is more than 4 times as ionic as P
CQ is the least ionic of the four
DS is more than 50% 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.
