What is dipole movement? |
| Answer» A dipole moment \u200bis a measurement of the separation of two opposite electrical charges. Dipole moments are a vector quantity.Dipole moment ( μ ) is the measure of net molecular polarity, which is the magnitude of the charge Q at either end of the molecular dipole times the distance r between the charges.μ=Q×r Dipole moments tell us about the charge separation in a molecule. The larger the difference in electro negativities of bonded atoms, the larger the dipole moment.For example, NaCl has the highest dipole moment because it has an ionic bond (i.e. highest charge separation). | |
