explain dipole moment??
Answers
Answer:
A dipole moment arises in any system in which there is a separation of charge. They can, therefore, arise in ionic bonds as well as in covalent bonds. Dipole moments occur due to the difference in electronegativity between two chemically bonded atoms.
A bond dipole moment is a measure of the polarity of a chemical bond between two atoms in a molecule. It involves the concept of electric dipole moment, which is a measure of the separation of negative and positive charges in a system.
The bond dipole moment is a vector quantity since it has both magnitude and direction. An illustration describing the dipole moment that arises in an HCl (hydrochloric acid) molecule is provided below
- lt is the product of charge and distance between two opposite charges.
- lt is a vector quantity show the direction is positive to negative.
its symbol is
*Non polar molecules has zero dipole due to similar electronegativity value.
* four polar molecule dipole value is not equals to zero . they have defined value of dipole as :-
dipole of
O is 1.84 D.
