In this lesson, we will learn how to calculate the dipole of a molecule using the relative positions of the atomic partial charges.
Q1:
Ammonia has a bond angle of 107.0∘ and an overall dipole moment of 1.47 D. Calculate, to 3 significant figures, the dipole moment of each NH bond.
Q2:
Hydrogen sulfide has a bond angle of 92.1∘ and an overall dipole moment of 0.970 D. Calculate, to 3 significant figures, the dipole moment of each SH bond.
Q3:
Water has a bond angle of 104.5∘ and each OH bond has a dipole moment of 1.50 D. Calculate, to 3 significant figures, the total dipole moment of the water molecule.
