Chapter 11, Problem 49E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Two dipoles of water molecules by using delta convention are to be drawn.

Concept introduction:

A dipole is the unequal distribution of charge between atoms due to their electronegativity. The more electronegative element pulls more bonded electrons towards itself which develops a partial negative charge on it. On the other hand, the less electronegative element pulls less bonded electrons towards itself which develop a partial positive charge on it.
