Question

What is a dipole? Explain with an example​

Answer 1

Answer:

In chemistry, a dipole usually refers to the separation of charges within a molecule between two covalently bonded atoms or atoms that share an ionic bond. For example, a water molecule (H2O) is a dipole.

Answer 2

$\large\underline\mathtt\color{red}{ Dipole }$

The bond dipole moment uses the idea of electric dipole moment to measure the polarity of a chemical bond within a molecule. It occurs whenever there is a separation of positive and negative charges. The bond dipole μ is given by: $\large\rm\boxed{\mu =\delta \ d }$

$\mathtt\color{teal}{ Example }$

• water molecule, made up of one oxygen atom and two hydrogen atoms.
• The differences in electronegativity and lone electrons give oxygen a partial negative charge and each hydrogen a partial positive charge - 2.
