Q. Electronegativity values of elements are given
$K =0.8 \,\,\,\,\, Ge =1.8 \,\,\,\,\, H =2.1 \,\,\,\,\, Cs =0.7$
$P =2.1 \,\,\,\,\, Cl =3.0 \,\,\,\,\, S =2.5 \,\,\,\,\, F =4.0$
Out of $KCl , PH _{3}, GeCl , H _{2} S$ and $CsF$ ionic compounds are

Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Solution:

Compound is said to be ionic if electron negativity difference between bonding atoms exceeds $1.7$ .
