Question #7524c

Answer 1

The electric dipole moment is a measure of the strength of the dipole that forms in a polar covalent bond.

Explanation:

A dipole moment is the name given to a quantity that consists of the product of the charge that has formed on the atoms in a bond times the bond length (the distance between the nuclei of the two atoms).

As a result, it has dimensions of coulomb-metres, or by the more useful unit, the debye, D.
