Periodic table trend for the value of dipole moments

[tiffany]

Hi! Does anyone know if there is a periodic table trend for the value of dipole moments...I tried looking it up on the internet and I haven't had any luck maybe someone in here knows..if you do please help! Thanks in advance!

dipole moments refer to covalent compounds not elements of the periodic table.

Generally speaking, electronegativity increases going from left to right and bottom to top, with flourine being the most electronegative atom; the greater the difference in electronegativity between two atoms the larger the dipole.

drunken thought... as the distance from right to left inccreased dipole moment increses?

Absolutely. That is indeed a drunken thought.
