Answer:

Fraction ionic = 0.43

Explanation:

To solve this question, we must, as first, find the fraction of the bond that is covalent using the equation:

Fraction Covalent = exp (-0.25*(Enitride - EAl)²)

Fraction covalent = exp (-0.25*(3.0- 1.5)²)

Fraction covalent = exp (-0.25*2.25)

Fraction covalent = exp (-0.5625)

Fraction covalent = 0.57

As:

1 = Fraction Covalent + Fraction Ionic:

Fraction ionic = 1 - 0.57

Fraction ionic = 0.43
