Question

calculate the electric dipole moment of an electron and a proton 0.53 A apart

Answer 1

Answer:

The electric dipole moment is a measure of the separation of positive and negative electrical charges within a system, that is, a measure of the system's overall polarity. The SI units for electric dipole moment are coulomb-meter; however, a commonly used unit in atomic physics and chemistry is the debye.

Answer 2

Since, the charge on an electron and a proton is equal and opposite, therefore, they will constitutes a electric dipole.  ∴ dipole moment is given by p = 2q
