Covalent bonds have ionic "character" when they are polar. The more polar, (greater the electronegativity difference) the more ionic character.

The dipole measured for is 0.380 The bond distance is 161 What is the percent ionic character of the bond?

To calculate the percent ionic character of a bond, you can use the equation: % Ionic Character = (1 - exp(-0.025*dipole/bond distance))100. Plugging in the values given, you would get % Ionic Character = (1 - exp(-0.0250.380/161))*100. Solving this will give you the percent ionic character of the bond.


Is the chemical bond that causes silicon atoms to combine called ionic bond?

no its a convalent bond as if it was an ionic bond it would be between a non-metal and metal (most of the time) but also between two ions. Because you are talking about two atoms it means that it is a covalent bond.
