Question

Application of dipole moment ?​

Answer 1

Answer:

Applications of dipole moment:

(i) Ionic character can be calculated using the value of dipole moment.

% of ionic character =

=100* (Experimental value of dipole moment/Theoretical value of 100% ionized molecule)

(ii) Geometry of the molecule can be predicted using the dipole moment.

(iii) Dipole moment is helpful in predicting nature of the molecule. Weather it is polar or non-polar in nature. Ex:

(a) In BeCl₂ (linear molecule), the dipole moment gets zero, because of equal distribution of net charge on both sides which is neutralized to zero. So, it is non-polar molecule.

Answer 2

Answer:

Application of dipole moment:-

1. In determining the polarity of bond-

If dipole moment is greater higher will be the polarity of the bond. but this concept is applicable to molecules containing only one polar bond.

2. In the circulation of percentage ionic character.
