Which of the following bonds has the most ionic character?
A) C−Sn
B) C−Cu
C) C−Zn
D) C−Li

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The ionic character of a bond is determined by the difference in electronegativity between the two atoms forming the bond. Lithium (Li) is a metal with a low electronegativity, while carbon (C) is a non-metal with a relatively higher electronegativity. This significant difference in electronegativity between C and Li leads to the formation of a bond with the most ionic character among the options given.
