NEETChemistryChemical Bonding and Molecular Structure
How is the dipole moment of a molecule affected by an increase in charge (Q)?
Options
- AIt decreases.
- BIt increases.
- CIt remains unchanged.
- DIt becomes zero.
Correct answer
B. It increases.
Step-by-step solution
An increase in charge (Q) in the dipole moment equation μ = Q × r leads to an increase in the dipole moment.
