Question

Discuss the significance and applications of dipole moment

Answer 1

Explanation:

The important significane of dipole moment are as follows:

• 1. For predicting the nature of the molecules- molecules with zero dipole moment are non polar while the molecule with specific dipole moment are polar in nature.

• 2. For determining the shape of the molecule-If a molecule has a specific dipole moment then its shape will not be symmetrical,they may be bent or angular & the molecule with zero dipole moment will be symmetrical & has linear shape.

Answer 2

Answer :

(1). In predicting the nature of the molecules.

(2). Molecules with specific dipole moments are polar in nature and those of zero dipole moments are non-polar in nature.

(3). In the determination of shapes of molecules.

(4). In calculating the percentage ionic character.
