Ionic character depends on the electronegativity difference between the bonding elements. The greatest the elctronegativity diffference the greatest the ionic character.

Here in the given options, H-F has has the greatest ionic character. The electronegativity of Hydrogen is 2.1 and that of Fluorine is 4. Now the electronegativity difference is 4 - 2.1 = 1.9.

The set of dispatchable processes is in a safe state if there exists at least one temporal order in which all processes can be run to completion without resulting in a deadlock.

An electrically charged atom or group of atoms formed by the loss or gain of one or more electrons is called an Ion.

Cation:

An ion is a cation (positive ion) if it is created by electron loss and is attracted to the cathode in electrolysis.

Anion:

An ion is an anion (negative ion) if it is created by an electron gain and is attracted to the anode.

The valence of an ion is equal to the number of electrons lost or gained and is indicated by a plus sign for cations and a minus sign for anions.

Ex: Na +, Cl−, Ca ++,...
