Exercise II on Calculating the Dipole Moment (μ): Solutions
Question: Calculate the dipole moment in a HCl molecule if the bond lengthis 1.27Å and the charges on the H and Cl atoms were 1+ and 1−, respectively.
Solution:
Answer:
μ = (1 × 1.6 × 10− 19 C) × (1.27 × 10− 10 m) × (1 D / 3.34 × 10− 30 C·m) = 6.08 D
