Question
The dipole moment (μ�) of HBrHBr (a polar covalent molecule) is 0.831D0.831D (debye), and its percent ionic character is 12.3 %% . Estimate the bond length of the H−BrH−Br bond in picometers.

Note that

  • 1 D=3.34×10−30 C⋅m1 D=3.34×10−30 C⋅m and
  • in a bond with 100%% ionic character, Q=1.6×10−19 C�=1.6×10−19 C.

 

Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.
