SUMMARY
Differences in electronegativity directly cause dipole moments in molecules. When two atoms in a bond have differing electronegativities, the electron density is unevenly distributed, resulting in a dipole moment. This relationship is fundamental in understanding molecular polarity and its implications in chemical behavior.
PREREQUISITES- Understanding of electronegativity concepts
