A diatomic molecule has a bond length of

160\,\text{pm}

and a measured dipole moment of

2.0\,\text{D}

. Using

e = 1.602\times10^{-19}\,\text{C}

and

1\,\text{D} = 3.336\times10^{-30}\,\text{C\,m}

, calculate the percent ionic character of the bond. Report your answer to two significant figures.
