Jun 6, 2020 · Addressing your second question, permanent dipole moment experimentally means that a molecule will be deflected by an electric field. Consider water as an example, open your kitchen faucet slowly, so that a think thin stream is steadily flowing. Charge a comb and see its deflection. Such molecules have a permanent dipole moment.

May 26, 2017 · $\begingroup$ You can also have "permanent dipole-induced dipole interactions", where, for example, the permanent dipole on the water molecule interacts with the electrons on the benzene and causes an induced dipole, which then has a …

Oct 11, 2015 · Hydrogen bonding is defined as an electrostatic attraction between a hydrogen atom bearing a partial positive charge in a molecule and an electronegative element of another molecule. The partial positive charge is the result of a dipole, caused by an electronegative element, such as F, O, or N.

Dec 30, 2015 · Dipole-dipole interactions are electrostatic interactions between the permanent dipoles of different molecules. These interactions align the molecules to increase the attraction. In order to form a dipole-dipole attraction, there should be a dipole moment for the considered molecule. For an example: Water ($\ce{H2O}$)

Jul 18, 2019 · The argument is as follows: If there were a dipole moment, for example left to right, and I apply the left-right mirror plane, it would have to switch directions, but the molecule is still the same. Because of this contradiction, the dipole moment has to be zero in that direction.

Nov 20, 2018 · Permanent dipole-dipole forces acting between molecules will mean the majority of molecule will end up aligning themselves to minimise repulsion from partial charges. but this still doesn't stop van der Waal's forces acting between any two molecules.

Dec 22, 2019 · Hydroquinone, with its hydroxyl groups symmetrically placed on opposite corners of the benzene ring, has a limited (average) dipole moment between two conformations, one polar and one nonpolar, whereas the other two isomers have an additional dipole from their hydroxyl groups being nonsymmettically located and have larger overall dipole moments.

A dipole moment is a mathematical calculation relating to the unequal distribution of charge within a compound. In other words, the higher a compound's dipole moment, the more polar the compound is. On the other hand, polarizability is the tendency for a compound to form a dipole when confronted with an external electric field.

Nov 14, 2019 · A dipole means that there is a difference (in charge) from one "side" to another "side". If we have determined that something is symmetric, it means the "sides" are equal to each other — and that as you rotate $\left(\frac{1}{n}\right)$ around the …

Nov 16, 2020 · I understand that pure rotational spectra only exist for molecules which have a permanent dipole moment. The common explanation is "so that they can interact with the E-field of the incoming photons", but I don't think it is clear why photons can only interact with dipoles.
