• The observed electric dipole moments of CO, ClF, and NaF are 3.7 × 10−31, 3.0 × 10−30, and 2.7 × 10−29 C · m, respectively. The corresponding bond lengths are 0.11, 0.16, and 0.19 nm. Express the observed dipole moments as percentages of the values you would predict if the molecules were purely ionic. Which of the molecules are predominantly ionic, and which are predominantly covalent?
