In a polar molecule , the ionic charge is `4.8 xx 10^(-10)` esu. If the interatomic distance is `1 Å` unit, then the dipole moment is

Options

A. `41.8` debye
B. `4.18` debye
C. `4.8` debye
D. `0.48` debye

Answer

c

Explanation

Given ionic charge `= 4.8 xx 10^(-10)` esu and ionic distance
` = 1 Å = 10^(-8)`
we know that dipole moment = ionic distance `= 4.8 xx 10^(-8)` esu per cm `= 4.8` debye.
