What does the dipole moment of a molecule depend on?

Options

  1. AThe charge of the molecule only
  2. BThe distance between the centers of positive and negative charge only
  3. CBoth the charge of the molecule and the distance between charges
  4. DThe size of the molecule

Correct answer

C. Both the charge of the molecule and the distance between charges

Step-by-step solution

The dipole moment of a molecule depends on both the charge of the molecule and the distance between the centers of positive and negative charge.
