To find the distance between the centers of positive and negative charge in a neutral water molecule (H₂O) given its electric dipole moment, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understand the Electric Dipole Moment**: The electric dipole moment (p) is defined as the product of the charge (q) and the distance (d) between the centers of positive and negative charges. Mathematically, this is expressed as: \[ p = q \cdot d ...
