Answer 2

Answer:

An electric dipole is a pair of equal and opposite point-charges placed at a short distance apart.

Explanation:

In an atom, the centre of the positive charges and the centre of the negatively charges coincide with each other.

Hence, the atom is not a dipole. But if the atom is placed in an electric field, then the positive and negative centres are displaced relative to each other and the atom becomes a dipole.
