a bond with the most ioic character hae a electronegativity of?
|dw:1367596866930:dw| We choose the most non-electronegative element with the most electronegative element for best difference in electronegativity to give the most ionic characteristics Francium fluoride, FrF? Francium is radioactive and decays in seconds, so your best answer will be Cesium fluoride, CsF
a bond doesn't "have" an electronegativity; it's the DIFFERENCE in the electronegativities of the elements that make the bond that will determine whether the bond is nonpolar, polar, or ionic. The most ionic bonds are the bonds that have the largest difference in ENEG between the 2 atoms. @.Sam. is right in the opposite corners of the periodic table result in bonds with the largest ENEG differences.
