Dear student

Firstly compare all the bonds of the compounds on the basis of the
electronegativity differences C-H bond will be
least ionic as there is very little difference in
the electronegativity between C and H Now, out of
Br-H and F-H,
Br-H will be more polar as it will have a higher
dipole moment Where as although the difference in electronegativity
between H-F is more but F can not easily accept an electron
due to inter electronic repulsions so the bond
also will be less polar or ionic However the electronegativity
difference between K-F is maximum as K is an
alkali metal so will be maximum electropositive and thus will be
the ionic character of the bond Also Na-I will be
more polar or more ionic than Li-Cl since Li is a
small cation and thus will polarise the anion easily

Therefore, the increasing order of ionic character will be:

C-H < F-H < Br-H < Li-Cl < Na-I <
K-F

Hope this information clears your doubts about the topic

Looking forward to hear from again!!
