Question

Physical significance of dipoles

Answer 1

Answer:

Physical Significance Of Dipoles In most molecules, the centre’s of positive charges and of negative charges lie at the same place. CO2 and CH4 are of this type of molecules. But in some molecules, the centres of negative charges and of positive charges do not coincide. A water molecule, H2O, is an example of this type.

Answer 2

Answer:

Physical significance of dipole is that it is used to predict whether a molecule is polar or non polar. In most molecules, the centre's of positive charges and of negative charges lie at the same place. Therefore, their dipole moment is zero and that molecule is considered as non polar.
