In chemistry, how is the presence of dipole moment represented on a Lewis structure?

Options

  1. AA small arrow with a cross on the positive end
  2. BA small arrow with a cross on the negative end
  3. CA crossed arrow with a cross on the positive end
  4. DA crossed arrow with a cross on the negative end

Correct answer

C. A crossed arrow with a cross on the positive end

Step-by-step solution

In chemistry, the presence of dipole moment is represented by a crossed arrow on the Lewis structure of the molecule, with the cross on the positive end.
