Arrange the following bonds in order of increasing ionic character giving a reason

N-H, F-H, C-H \; and\; O-H

Answers (1)

Ionic character of the bond depends on the electronegativity.

Ionic character \alpha to the difference of electronegativity.

In the following bonds, hydrogen is in all but have different electronegativity.

N-H, F-H, C-H \; and\; O-H

Increasing order of electronegativity is:

C<N<O<F

Therefore, ionic character of the bond in increasing order will be-

C-H < N-H < O-H < F-H
