Would the following entries be correct when plugging into the ionic character formulae? 

When % ionic character (IC) is >50% the bond is considered ionic. <50% it
is considered polar covalent.
%IC = [1 – el-(0.25)(X4-XB)*]] * 100

Soil minerals have abundant Si-O and Al-O bonds particularly within the phyllosilicates. Knowing
about intramolecular bond strengths and types can tell you about how minerals whether.
Silicon has an electronegativity of 1.9 and Al3+ has an electronegativity of 1.6. Oxygen has an
electronegativity of 3.44.
Fill in the blanks (please provide your answers to the 0.01 precision, round up if the following digit
is greater than 5. e.g., 0.1161356 means your answer should be entered as 0.12).
The % ionic character of Si-C bond is
44.73
while the %IC of Al-O bond is
57.10
Si
That means the (enter Si or Al)
has more covalent character.
