Question

which of the following bonds is likely to have the most ionic character? choose 1 answer: a ca—s b si—s c k—cl d p—cl

Explanation:

The ionic character of a bond is determined by the electronegativity difference between the two atoms. The greater the electronegativity difference, the more ionic the bond. Looking at the electronegativities of the elements involved in each bond: for Ca - S, Si - S, K - Cl, and P - Cl, the K - Cl bond has the largest electronegativity difference as K is a highly electropositive metal and Cl is a highly electronegative non - metal.

Answer:

C. K−Cl
