Question

Dipole-dipole forces act between the molecules possessing permanent dipole. Ends of dipoles possess ‘partial charges’. The partial charge is ______.

Options

• More than unit electronic charge

• Equal to unit electronic charge

• Less than unit electronic charge

• Double the unit electronic charge

Answer 1

Dipole-dipole forces act between the molecules possessing permanent dipole. Ends of dipoles possess ‘partial charges’. The partial charge is less than unit electronic charge.

Explanation:

Partial charge is a small charge developed by displacement of electrons. It is less than unit electronic charge and is represented as δ⁺ or δ^–.
