Question:

For NaCl, Re = 2.36 Å. The ionization energy of Na is 5.14 eV, and the electron affinity of Cl is 3.61 eV. Use the simple model of NaCl as a pair of spherical ions in contact to estimate De and the dipole moment of NaCl. Compare with the experimental values De = 4.25 eV and m = 9.0 D. [One debye (D) is 3.33564 x 10-30 C m.]
