Anyone know how hydrogen bonding in water can enhance "density fluctuation" ?
And in first place What is "density fluctuation" ?

Hi mohsenph69, welcome to PF!

You'll have to give more context to your question to get a better answer.

The density of a liquid being not strictly uniform, at any given point in the liquid the actual density will be equal to the average density, plus or minus something. My guess is that "density fluctuation" corresponds to the scale of that "plus or minus something".
 

Thread 'Instantaneous dipole moment and orbitals'

Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
