Arrange the bonds in order of increasing ionic character in the molecules. LiF, K2O, N2, SO2 and CIF3. (A) CIF3

Question

Arrange the bonds in order of increasing ionic character in the molecules. LiF, K2O, N2, SO2 and CIF3.

(A) CIF3 < N2 < SO2 < K2O < LiF
(B) LiF < K2O < CIF3 < SO2 < N2
(C) N2 < SO2 < CIF3 < K2O < LiF
(D) N2 < CIF3 < SO2 < K2O < LiF

Correct answer: C. Increasing order of ionic character N2 < SO2 < ClF3 < K2O < LiF Ionic character depends upon difference of electronegativity (bond polarity).
