Dipole Moment ($$\mu$$)

$$\mu = q \cdot d$$

Concept: Quantifies the net electrical polarity of a chemical bond or a molecule due to differences in electronegativity.

Notation:

• $$\mu$$ = Dipole moment (measured in Debye,$$\text{D}$$);
• $$q$$ = Magnitude of separated charge;
• $$d$$ = Distance of separation between the charges.
