Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the HBr compound on the graph.
Observe the position of HBr on the graph, noting its coordinates in terms of percent ionic character and electronegativity difference.
Estimate the percent ionic character of HBr by looking at its position on the y-axis.
Estimate the electronegativity difference of HBr by looking at its position on the x-axis.
Use the graph to determine the approximate percent ionic character of the HBr bond based on its position relative to other compounds.
