  • Dipole moment (μ) is defined as the product of the distance of separation between the charges and the magnitude of charge.
  • It is the measure of net molecular polarity.
  • It is the magnitude of the charge Q at either end of the molecular dipole times the distance r between the charges.

                         μ=Q×r

  • It tells us about the charge separation in a molecule.
  • The larger the difference in electronegativities of bonded atoms, the larger the dipole moment.
  • For example, the CO2 molecule does not have a dipole moment because it is symmetrical, hence there is no charge separation, while NaCl has the highest dipole moment because it has an ionic bond (i.e. highest charge separation).
