SUMMARY
Mono-nuclear molecules can exhibit a dipole moment depending on their electronic structure and symmetry. Molecules such as nitric oxide (NO) and hydrogen chloride (HCl) demonstrate a permanent dipole moment due to their polar covalent bonds. In contrast, mono-nuclear molecules like carbon monoxide (CO) can also show a dipole moment, influenced by the electronegativity of the atoms involved. The presence or absence of a dipole moment is fundamentally linked to the distribution of electron density within the molecule.
