Homework Statement
Which has the strongest ionic bond?
Cs2Se
AlN
CaI2
Kbr
Homework Equations
Look at electronegativities
The Attempt at a Solution
I looked at electronegativities and found the differences.
The largest difference was KBr. But apparently, that was wrong. See EN differences below.
Cs2Se: 1.6
AlN: 1.5
CaI2: 1.5
KBr: 1.9
Ionic bond strength increases with increasing change in EN, correct?
What am I doing wrong?
Please advise if you can.
Thanks in advance.
