Chemical Bonding And Molecular Structure Question 20
Question 20 - 2024 (31 Jan Shift 2)
A diatomic molecule has a dipole moment of $1.2 D$. If the bond distance is $1 \mathring{A}$, then fractional charge on each atom is __________ $\times 10^{-1} esu$.
(Given $1 D=10^{-18}$ esu $cm$ )

Answer (0)
Solution
$\mu=1.2 D=q \times d$
$\Rightarrow 1.2 \times 10^{-10} esu \mathring{A}=q \times 1 \mathring{A}$
$\therefore q=1.2 \times 10^{-10} esu$
