Problem 35. The degree to which a chemical bond is ionic can be characterized by how nearly the bond can be treated as a dipole with complete exchange of an electron between the molecules. The HCL molecule is measured to have a dipole moment of 1.08 D, wherel D-1 Debye-3.336 x 10-30 C-m. The bond length of HCI (effective separation of the atoms) is L=1.27 x 10-10. m.. A) What would be the dipole moment of HCl (in Debye) if the bonding was "purely ionic" so that the charge of the Cl atom was -1.6 x 10-19 C and the charge of the H atom was +1.6 x 10-19 C. B) What is magnitude of the "effective charge" of the atoms in HCI? Here the effective charge is the value of the charge used in the relation Pactual geff L.
