You will compare measured dipole moments of gas-phase molecules with the dipoles they would have if fully ionic.
The idea. A charge on each atom at a distance gives . Divide by C m to get debye. The percent ionic character is the measured dipole over that, times 100.
Your tasks.
full_dipole, return the fully ionic dipole in debye for a bond length in pm.percent_ionic, return the percent ionic character.most_ionic, return the name of the most ionic molecule in the table.Have you tried it?
Do the tasks in the editor first, and run the checker after each one. Its hints help when a check fails. When you are ready, compare your code with this solution.
