Question

How are dipoles drawn?

Answer 1

Let's take a `C-Cl` bond. Here the chlorine atom is more electronegative than the carbon atom, so will therefore have more electrons on its side. The charge on the atoms can be represented by using `delta+` or `delta-` depending on the charge., in the case of a `C-Cl` bond, it would be `C^(delta+)-Cl^(delta-)`, except it would be directly above the symbol usually.
