Dipole moment is a vector quantity , defined as the product of perpendicular distance and magnitude of charges in a dipole .

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Dipole Moment- It is ionic character in covalent molecule.

• It is donated by μ.

• Dipole moment is measurement of polarity in covalent bond.

$μ = q \times d$

Where

q = charge

d = Distance

• Unit of dipole moment is de bye which is donated by 'D'.

• Dipole moment is a vector quantity.

• Direction of dipole moment is from les electronegative atom to more electronegative atom.

• In case of lone pair direction of dipole moment is from the central atom to towards the lone pair.
