How is the direction of the crossed arrow in chemistry related to the conventional direction of the dipole moment vector?
Options
- AThe crossed arrow points in the same direction as the dipole moment vector.
- BThe crossed arrow points in the opposite direction to the dipole moment vector.
- CThe crossed arrow has no relation to the dipole moment vector.
- DThe crossed arrow is perpendicular to the dipole moment vector.
Correct answer
B. The crossed arrow points in the opposite direction to the dipole moment vector.
Step-by-step solution
The direction of the crossed arrow is opposite to the conventional direction of the dipole moment vector.
