A diatomic molecule has a dipole moment of 1.2 D. If the bond distance is 1.0 $Å$ , what fraction of an electronic charge, e, exists on each atom?

Answer:

0.25

Solution:

$Partial charge = \frac{Dipole moment}{Bond distance}$
$= \frac{1.2 \times 1 0^{- 18}}{1.0 \times 1 0^{- 8}} = 1.2 \times 1 0^{- 10} e s u$
The fraction of an electronic charge is
$= \frac{1.2 \times 1 0^{- 10}}{4.8 \times 1 0^{- 10}} = 0.25$
or = 25%
