Electronegativity is the property of a bonded atom. The tendency of an atom to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself is called electronegativity. Different scales of electronegativity have been proposed by different scientists, some of them being Pauling's scale, Mulliken's scale and Allred Rochow scale. The ionization potential of two atoms A and B are 14 eV/atom and 10.8 eV/atom respectively and their electron affinities are 8.4 eV/atom and 6 eV/atom respectively. With respect to the above given information answer the following question, If atoms A and B form a covalent bond, then what is the percent covalent character in the bond?

Between ionic and covalent bonds, there are large majority of bonds, in which the bonding electrons are shared unequally between two atoms but are not completely transferred.Such bonds are said to be polar covalent bonds and the bond polarity is due to difference in electronegativity, the ability of an atom in a molecule to attract the shared electrons in a covalent bond. The measure of net polarity is a quantity called the dipole moment, mu , which is defined as the magnitude of the charge Q at either end of the molecular dipole times the distance r between the charges : mu=Qxxr .Molecular polarities give rise to some of the forces that occur between molecules and these forces are of several different types including dipole-dipole forces, London dispersion forces, and hydrogen bonds. All these intermolecular forces are electrical in origin and result from the mutual attraction of unlike charges or the mutual repulsion of like charges. In which of the following mixtures, the London dispersion force acts as a major intermolecular force of attraction ?
