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 moments 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 distinguish between cis- and trans- isomers, ortho, meta and pare-forms of a substance, etc. Q.

Covalent molecules formed by heteroatoms bound to have some ionic character. The ionic character is due to shifting of the electron pair towards A or B in the molecule AB. Hence, atoms acquire small and equal charge but opposite in sign. Such a bond which has some ionic character is described as polar covalent bond. Polar covalent molecules can exhibit dipole moment. Dipole moment is equal to the product of charge separation, q and the bond length, d for the bond. The 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 molecules 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 moments help to predict the geometry of the molecules. Dipole moment values can be used to distinguish between cis-and traps-isomers, ortho-, meta-and para-forms of a substance, etc. The percentage of ionic character of a bond can be calculated by the application of the following formula : % " ionic character " = ("Experimental value of dipole moment ")/("Theoretical value of dipole moment ") xx 100 A diatomic molecule has a dipole moment of 1.2 D.
