If the bond length and dipole moment of a diatomic molecule are 1.25 A^(@) and 1.0 D respectively, what is the percent ionic character of the bond ?

Chemical Bonding - Dipole Moment 1

Chemical Bonding - Dipole Moment 2

Define dipole moment of a polar bond.

The experimental dipole moment of water molecule is 1.84D . Calculater the bond angle H-O-H in water molecule if dispole moment of OH bond is 1.5D .

A polar covalent bond with positive and negative charge centres at its ends is called a dipole. The polarity of a dipole is measured by its dipole moment. Mathematically it is expressed as dipole moment, mu=q xx d where q and d are the net charge and the distance between the two charges respectively. Dipole moment is a vector quantity. The net dipole moment of a polyatomic molecule is the resultant of the various bond moments present in the molecule. The values of dipole moment are expressed in Debye (D) or in SI units in terms of coulomb- metre (Cm). One of the most important applications of dipole moment is in the determination of geometry and shape of molecules besides prediction of a number of properties of the molecules. Which of the following has net dipole moment?
