MCQ
Between $HF,HCl,HBr$ and $HI,HF$ has the highest ionic character because
  • A
    $F$ has the highest electron affinity
  • In $HF$, electronegativity difference is highest
  • C
    ${F^ - }$ ion has the highest value of ionic radius
  • D
    Atomic orbitals of $H$ and $F$ have almost similar energy

Answer

Correct option: B.
In $HF$, electronegativity difference is highest
b
Fluorine is most electronegative element. So, $HF$ has highest ionic character because electronegativity difference between $H$ and $F$ is highest.
