Note for OP
+solved @user1 @user2... to close the thread when your doubt is solved. Mention the users who helped you solve the doubt. This will be added to their stats.Can you apply Fajans rules here? That works
considering covalent character directly proportional to electronegativity diff ig FrF but idts that exists so maybe cscl?
yeah my bad wrote it wrong. so smaller the EN diff , more the covalent character
so this implies that EN diff between H and F is very small?
That is one point. Other is that although H is small it has a high charge density. So it is more likely to be covalent.
also is it true for the entire periodic table, like the maximum covalent character in all the possible ionic compounds
Did not follow.
like for all the possible compounds , maxm covalent charac is possesed by HI
This q had 4 options right, this is what we are talking about :D
yeah it did, but now am modifiying it
You have H bonding with another H
Same with O with another O
So i did not follow your question of most covalent character bit.
all possible ionic compounds
In h2 and o2 respectively
HI is not ionic.
Every compound has partial ionic and covalent character.
hm thats true
Those that are mostly ionic or mostly covalent are categorised as such in lower grades
so ig we really cant compare unless the compound are given to us
Now you know that such a categorisation is not true and anyway the focus should be. What are you categorising them for ?
If it is a reaction then you see oxidising reducing potential OR their ability to solvate OR some organic reaction that requires nucleophilicity etc
So context is important.
Classification in itself is limited to answering a question on a test.
hmm , i just had a random thought in my mind
socha i should discuss it, its all clear now tho
