interatomic seperation, nm

(b) From this plot Ro =

E0 = -4.58eV,

Question 2: Compute the percentage ionic character of the interatomic bond for each of the following
compounds: GaP, CsF, and FeO.
The percent ionic character is a function of the electron negativities of the ions XA and XB according to
Equation 2.10.The electro negativities of the elements are found in Figure 2.7.

For GaP XGa = 1.6XP = 2.1 %IC = [1 e ((-0.25) (2.1-1.6)2)]*100] = 6.06%

For CsF Xcs = 0.7 XF = 4.0
%IC = [1 e ((-0.25) (4.0-0.7)2)]*100] = 93.4%
For FeO XFe = 1.8 XO = 3.5
%IC = [1 e ((-0.25) (3.5-1.8)2)]*100] = 51.4%
