Question

What is dipole moment? please explain.

Answer 1

 The dipole moment of CCl4 is equal to 0 (because this molecule is symmetrical), the dipole moment of NH3 is not equal to 0.

Answer 2

• If an object is balanced, the theory of moments is that the sum of the clockwise moments around a pivot is equal to the sum of the anticlockwise moments around the same pivot. To explain this, I assumed it was called a dipole moment, since it defines the molecule's range of motion.

$\sf \pmb{ \underline{ More \: Information : }}$

• 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 $\sf \pmb{ \muμ}$

• *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$\sf \mathbb{ \: H_2OH 2}$

O is 1.84 D.

1D = 10^-18e.s.u.cm
