• If an ionic molecule results from the transfer of exactly one electron from one atom to the other, it should have a dipole moment p = eR0, where R0 is the bond length. Use the data in Table 12.1 (Section 12.2) to predict the dipole moments of KCl, LiF, NaBr, and NaCl in coulomb · meters. The observed values are, respectively, 3.42 × 10−29, 2.11 × 10−29, 3.04 × 10−29, and 3.00 × 10−29 C · m; express these as percentages of your predicted values. (These percentages measure the extent to which the molecules concerned are ionic.)
