Question

The percent ionic character of a bond between elements A and B may be approximated by the expression %IN = 100[1 - e^(-1/4(XA - XB))], where XA and XB are the electronegativities for the respective elements. What is the percent ionic character of the interatomic bonds for Fe2O3? What type of bonding would you expect in Fe2O3? Note: Use 1.8 for the electronegativity for Fe and 3.5 for the electronegativity for O.

Step 1

ΔX = X_O - X_Fe = 3.5 - 1.8 = 1.7 Now, we can plug this value into the given formula for %IN: %IN = 100[1 - e^(-1/4(ΔX))] = 100[1 - e^(-1/4(1.7))] Now, we can calculate the value inside the exponent: -1/4(1.7) = -0.425 Now, we can calculate the value of the Show more…
