In the following http://electrons.wikidot.com/solar-cells
it mentioned that
The electron drifts and reaches the neutral n+-side whereupon it makes this region negative by an amount of charge -e.

how and when n-side becomes positive?

Thread 'Instantaneous dipole moment and orbitals'

Hi. I have got question as in title. How can idea of instantaneous dipole moment for atoms like, for example hydrogen be consistent with idea of orbitals? At my level of knowledge London dispersion forces are derived taking into account Bohr model of atom. But we know today that this model is not correct. If it would be correct I understand that at each time electron is at some point at radius at some angle and there is dipole moment at this time from nucleus to electron at orbit. But how...
