We know that same charges repel and opposite attract them selfs. So if the electrons have dipole magnetic momentum, how will they repel, if they get closer with their opposite poles of the dipoles? Thank you.
Dipole momentum refers to the measure of the separation and orientation of positive and negative charges within a molecule or atom. It is essentially a measure of the polarity of a system.
Dipole momentum is calculated by multiplying the distance between the two charges by the magnitude of the charges and then taking the product of these two values. This results in a vector quantity with units of coulomb-meters (C*m).
The dipole momentum of electrons is affected by the distance between the charges, the magnitude of the charges, and the orientation of the charges relative to each other. It is also influenced by the electron distribution within the system and the presence of any external electric fields.
Dipole momentum is important in chemistry and physics because it plays a crucial role in determining the physical and chemical properties of molecules and atoms. It influences intermolecular forces, solubility, and reactivity of substances. Additionally, it is also involved in various electrical and magnetic phenomena.
The dipole momentum of electrons contributes to the overall polarity of a molecule by determining the strength and direction of the electric field within the molecule. A higher dipole momentum indicates a more polar molecule, while a lower dipole momentum results in a less polar molecule.
