### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Definition of Dipole Moment**: - The dipole moment is a measure of the polarity of a chemical bond between two atoms in a molecule. It is a vector quantity, which means it has both magnitude and direction. 2. **Understanding Polarity**: - Polarity in a molecule arises when there is an uneven distribution of electron density between the atoms involved in a bond. This results in one atom being partially positive and the other being partially negative. - If the dipole moment of a molecule is equal to zero, the molecule is considered non-polar. Conversely, if the dipole moment is not equal to zero, the molecule is polar. ...
