The dipole moments of diatomic molecules 
and 
are 10.41D and 10.27D, respectively
while their bond distance are 2.82 and 
, respectively. This indicates that
A
bonding is 
ionic in both the moleules
ionic in both the moleules B
has more ionic bond character than 
C
has lesser ionic bond character than 
D
bonding is nearly covalent in both the molecules
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
C
