Prerna Bansal · Accepted Answer

The ionic character in a molecule is dependent upon the
electronegativity difference between the constituting atoms The
greater the difference, the greater will be the ionic character of
the molecule
On this basis, the order of increasing ionic character in the
given molecules is
N2 < SO2 < ClF3 <
K2O < LiF

Arrange the bonds in order of increasing ionic character in the molecules: LiF, K 2 O, N 2 , SO 2 and ClF 3 .

Arrange the bonds in order of increasing ionic character in the molecules: LiF, K ₂ O, N ₂ , SO ₂ and ClF ₃ .
