The first moment of a molecule’s charge distribution relative to a stated origin; for neutral molecules it is origin independent.
wp-physics-chemical-bondopenstax-chemistry-2eiupac-gold-bookEach relation below ends at this concept.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Electronegativity differences contribute qualitative bond-polarity estimates used in molecular dipole reasoning, while geometry, charge redistribution, lone pairs, and conformation determine the resultant moment.
The source supplies a substantive formal ingredient, dynamical sector, law, field content, or mechanism of the target theoretical framework.
wp-chem-periodic-tableopenstax-chemistry-2eiupac-periodic-tableEach relation below starts at this concept.
This is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
An infrared-active normal mode changes the molecular dipole moment; a permanent dipole is not required for every vibrational transition.
The source supplies a substantive formal ingredient, dynamical sector, law, field content, or mechanism of the target theoretical framework.
wp-physics-chemical-bondopenstax-chemistry-2eiupac-gold-bookThis is an authored directed relation from the source endpoint to the target endpoint.
Permanent dipoles contribute orientation-dependent electrostatic interactions, alongside induction, dispersion, and exchange.
The source supplies a substantive formal ingredient, dynamical sector, law, field content, or mechanism of the target theoretical framework.
