Question

define dipole moment in chemistry​

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Hi friend ❤️..

An electric dipole is defined as a pair of equal and opposite charges (+q and -q) which is seperated by some distance 2a. The direction of -q to +q is said to be the direction of dipole.❤️

P = q X 2a.❤️

Hope this helps you ❤️✌️...

Answer 2

Answer:

Dipole moments occur when there is a separation of charge. They can occur between two ions in an ionic bond or between atoms in a covalent bond; dipole moments arise from differences in electronegativity. The larger the difference in electronegativity, the larger the dipole moment. The distance between the charge separation is also a deciding factor into the size of the dipole moment. The dipole moment is a measure of the polarity of the molecule.
