Solution 1

To determine the ionic character of a bond, we can use the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms involved. The greater the difference, the more ionic the bond is.

  1. Calculate the difference in electronegativity for BeF2: The electronegativity of Be is 1.6 and that of F is 4.0. Knowee AI is a powerful AI-powered study tool designed to help you to solve study problem.
