  2. Chemical polarity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_polarity

    2, has zero dipole moment, while near the other extreme, gas phase potassium bromide, KBr, which is highly ionic, has a dipole moment of 10.41 D. [9] [page needed] [10] [verification needed] For polyatomic molecules, there is more than one bond. The total molecular dipole moment may be approximated as the vector sum of the individual bond ...

  3. Dipole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole

    Potassium bromide (KBr) has one of the highest dipole moments because it is an ionic compound that exists as a molecule in the gas phase. The bent molecule H 2 O has a net dipole. The two bond dipoles do not cancel. The overall dipole moment of a molecule may be approximated as a vector sum of bond dipole moments.

  4. Dipole moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole_moment

    Transition dipole moment, the electrical dipole moment in quantum mechanics; Molecular dipole moment, the electric dipole moment of a molecule. Bond dipole moment, the measure of polarity of a chemical bond; Electron electric dipole moment, the measure of the charge distribution within an electron; Magnetic dipole moment, the measure of the ...

  5. Debye - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Debye

    Typical dipole moments for simple diatomic molecules are in the range of 0 to 11 D. Molecules with symmetry point groups or containing inversion symmetry will not have a permanent dipole moment, while highly ionic molecular species have a very large dipole moment, e.g. gas-phase potassium bromide, KBr, with a dipole moment of 10.41 D. [3] A proton and an electron 1 Å apart have a dipole ...

  6. Polarizability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarizability

    Polarizability is responsible for a material's dielectric constant and, at high (optical) frequencies, its refractive index. The polarizability of an atom or molecule is defined as the ratio of its induced dipole moment to the local electric field; in a crystalline solid, one considers the dipole moment per unit cell. [1]

  7. Properties of water - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Properties_of_water

    Due to the difference in electronegativity, a bond dipole moment points from each H to the O, making the oxygen partially negative and each hydrogen partially positive. A large molecular dipole, points from a region between the two hydrogen atoms to the oxygen atom. The charge differences cause water molecules to aggregate (the relatively ...

  8. Dipolar compound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipolar_compound

    In organic chemistry, a dipolar compound or simply dipole is an electrically neutral molecule carrying a positive and a negative charge in at least one canonical description. In most dipolar compounds the charges are delocalized . [ 1 ]

  9. Hyperpolarizability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperpolarizability

    The hyperpolarizability, a nonlinear-optical property of a molecule, is the second order electric susceptibility per unit volume. [1] The hyperpolarizability can be calculated using quantum chemical calculations developed in several software packages. [2] [3] [4] See nonlinear optics.
