Hi,

For the dipole moment formula dipole moment= charge x distance, is the distance the bond length?

Thank you

Hi Natasha,

That should be a good approximation if the charges are only separated by 1 bond. It gets more complicated when you have multiple cancelling dipoles.

That being said, I can't recall practically using the dipole moment formula practically for chemistry. I would call it a low yield topic.

I hope this helps!
