Polar covalent molecules exhibit dipole moment. Dipole moment is equal to the product of charge separation, q and the bond length d for the bond. Unit of dipole moment is Debye. One Debye is equal to 10^(-18) esu-cm. Dipole moment is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction. Hence, dipole moment of a molecule depends upon the relative orientation of the bond dipoles, but not on the polarity of bonds alone. A symmetrical structure shows zero dipole moment. Thus, dipole moment helps to predict the geometry of a molecules. Dipole moment values can be used to disinguisd between cis- and trans- isomers, ortho-, meta - and para - forms of a substance, etc. The dipole moment value of H-X molecule is 1.2 Debye. If the internuclear distance between H-X is 0.8Å then the % ionic character in H-X molecules is :

S.I. unit for dipole moment is

Chemical bonding between two atoms is necessarily associated with an electrical moment arising out of the difference in electroegativity of two atoms. This means that every bond carries with it an electrical moment called the ''bond moment''. The dipole moment of a molecule is really the vectorial sum of the individual bond moment present in it. To compute the dipole moment it is necessary to find out the values of various bond moment. In the following table, dipole moment of different bonds are as given. {:(,rarr,rarr,rarr),("Bond",H-C,C-Cl,C=0),("Bond moments",0.4 D,1.5 D,2.5 D):} The group moments of few groups as given {:("Group",NO_(2),OH,CN,CH_(3)),("Direction of dipole","Towards N","Towards O","Towards N","Away from "CH_(3)),("Dipole moment",4D,1.6D,3.8D,0.4D):} The bond angle in H_(2)S is 97^(@) and its dipole moment is 1.5 D. The S-H bond distance is 0.15 nm. Therefore, approximate percentrage ionic cjaracter pf S-H bond is (neglect the effect of dipole moment of lone pair on sulphur atom in H_(2)S ).
