electric dipole moment

…tendency to rotate in an electric or magnetic field) and is therefore called polar. The dipole moment (μ) is defined as the product of the magnitude of the charge, e, and the distance separating the positive and negative charges, l: μ = el. Electrical charge is measured in electrostatic units…

…polarization, the molecules acquire an electric dipole moment. A cluster of charges with an electric dipole moment is often called an electric dipole.

…the measures of polarization is electric dipole moment, which equals the distance between the slightly shifted centres of positive and negative charge multiplied by the amount of one of the charges. Polarization P in its quantitative meaning is the amount of dipole moment p per unit volume V of a…

…they are polarized by an electric field; that is, the liquid develops positive and negative poles and also a dipole moment (which is the product of the pole strength and the distance between the poles) that is oriented against the field, from which the liquid acquires energy. This polarization is…

The dipole moment of a heteronuclear bond can be estimated from the electronegativities of the atoms A and B, χ_A and χ_B, respectively, by using the simple relation

…by the value of its dipole moment, μ, which is defined as the product of the magnitude of the partial charges times their separation (essentially, the length of the bond). The dipole moment of a heteronuclear bond can be estimated from the electronegativities of the atoms A and B, χ_A…

possess permanent magnetic moments or electric dipole moments by using external magnetic or electric fields to bring the energy spacing between levels into coincidence with the frequency of the laser.

Molecules with a dipole moment, such as water, have a strong attractive force owing to the interactions between the dipoles. For atoms and molecules with neither net charges nor dipole moments, the van der Waals force provides the crystal binding. The force of gravity also acts between neutral…

…qd is defined as the electric dipole moment. Its magnitude indicates the maximum torque exerted upon a given electric dipole per unit value of the surrounding electric field in a vacuum. The electric dipole moment, a vector, is directed along the line from negative charge toward positive charge. Dipole moments…
