Chapter 14, Problem 14A.3BE

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The magnitude and direction of the dipole moment of the arrangement of charges in the $xy$ plane has to be stated.

Concept introduction:

Polarized bonds are a result of the electronegativity difference between bonding atoms.  The more electronegative atom acquires a partial negative charge and the less electronegative atom acquires a partial positive charge.  This results in the formation of a dipole in the bond between the two atoms.
