Question

significance/applications of dipole moment.

Answer 1

Applications of Dipole moment:
(1) In determining the polarity of bonds
(2) In the calculation of percentage ionic character.
(3) In determining the symmetry (or shape) of the molecules :

Answer 2

Answer:

Applications of dipole moments:-)

1》 Dipole moments are used to explain polar and nonpolar nature of molecule.

2》 Dipole moment help to explain geometry of same number of atom type molecule.

3》 We can calculate percentage of ionic character in covalent compound by the use of dipole moment.

$The \: formula \: used \: is \: \ \\\% \: ionic \: character \: = \frac{ \mu_{observed}}{ \mu_{calculated}} \times 100$

4》We can explain polar and nonpolar nature in geometrical isomers with the help of dipole movement.
