How to calculate the dipole moment of a molecule?

Click For Summary

Discussion Overview

The discussion centers around the calculation of the dipole moment of a molecule, exploring methods, theories, and resources related to this concept. It includes inquiries about equations, theoretical foundations, and the use of electronegativity values from the periodic table.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Homework-related

Main Points Raised

  • One participant asks how to calculate the dipole moment using electronegativity values from the periodic table.
  • Another participant requests clarification on the general theory behind dipole moments.
  • A different participant inquires if a teacher provided an equation for calculating the dipole moment, suggesting it should be found in a textbook.
  • One participant expresses a need for the equation or theoretical articles, indicating they do not have access to a textbook.
  • A reference to a theoretical article on dipole moments is provided, but access requires a password.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

The discussion does not reach a consensus, as participants express varying levels of understanding and access to resources, with some seeking equations and others discussing theoretical aspects.

Contextual Notes

Some participants appear to lack access to educational materials that may contain relevant equations or theories, which could limit their ability to engage fully in the 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
