How to calculate the dipole moment of a molecule?

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The calculation of the dipole moment of a molecule involves using electronegativity values from the periodic table and understanding the bond lengths. A foundational equation for dipole moment calculation is essential, which may be found in textbooks or theoretical articles such as "Theory of Dipole Moments Induced Between Well-Separated Atoms" by Joel I. Gersten. Users should ensure they have access to relevant academic resources to fully grasp the concepts involved.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electronegativity values from the periodic table
  • Knowledge of molecular bond lengths
  • Familiarity with dipole moment equations
  • Access to academic resources or textbooks on molecular theory
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the specific equation for calculating dipole moments in molecular chemistry
  • Study the relationship between electronegativity and molecular polarity
  • Explore academic articles on dipole moments, such as those by Joel I. Gersten
  • Learn about the implications of dipole moments in molecular interactions
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, molecular physicists, and researchers interested in molecular properties and interactions will benefit from this discussion.

Show your work ... in all likelihood you are probably going to be banned for disregarding theforum rules on five consecutive posts.
 


there is no work here
what is the general theory??
 


Did you teacher give you an equation for calculating the dipole moment of a molecule? If not, it should be in your book.

You'll also need to know the bond length...
 


can you give me the equation,foruma,theoretical article
i have no such book
