    Let us assume that this molecule is 100 percent ionic. In that case, the charges are distinguished by a bond length.

    h = Q * r

    = (160 * 10⁻¹⁹ c) (127 * 10⁻¹² m) (10 / 3.336 * 10⁻³⁰ cm)

    = 6.09 D.

    The actual dipole moment is = 1.08 D

    Therefore, the percent ionic character is,

    = 1.08 D / 6.09 D * 100

    = 17.7 %.
