Why does a dipole moment orient from negative to positive if in an electric field the field runs from positive to negative?

Because opposite charges attract. The negative end of the dipole moment is trying
to get to the positive end of the field, and the positive end of the dipole is trying to
get to the negative end of the field.

Name one thing the shape of a molecule can affect?
The dipole moment. There are many other answers. I just said one.
What does 12 b m s mean?
It means 12 Bohr Magnetons, a unit for dipole moment used in atomic chemistry.
Is negative 3 a real number?
Yes negative 3 is a real number. 0 is the only number which...isn't a number. The is a political debate going on at the moment debating this particular topic!!!
Anyone limitation of cristal field theory?
1. anionic ligands like OH- placed below H2O :NO explanation provided 2. no explanation of why the strong field ligands are strong ,for example , though NH3 is lower in dipole moment than H2O it is a strong ligand
Moment generating function of a negative binomial distribution?
[(1 - p)/(1 - pet)]r for t < -ln(p) where p = probability of success in each trial, r = number of failures before success.
Explain how a water molecule can be attracted to both a positive ion and a negative ion when dissolving an ionic compound?
The shape and charge distribution in a water molecule cause it to have a permanent dipole moment, which consist of a positive electric charge and a negative charge separated by a distance in space. Therefore, the part of a water molecule that corresponds to the negative charge of its dipole moment is attracted to positive ions, and the part of a water molecule that corresponds to the positive charge of its dipole moment is attracted to negative ions.
What is the angle between dipole moment and electric field in a electric dipole?
Zero Dipole would set itself such that dipole moment vector is along the electric field vector
Application of dipole moment?
A dipole moment is defined as the mathematical product of the separation of the ends of a dipole and the magnitude of the charges. Dipole moments are created by the separation of charge over a molecule. Some common molecules with dipoles are H2O, HF, NH3, etc...
What is difference between between electric dipole moment and magnetic dipole moment?
Magnetic dipole is due to two poles of magnet. Electric dipole is due to +ve and -ve charges of electric charges.
What is molecular dipole moment?
The molecular dipole moment is a measure of the separation of positive and negative charges within a molecule. It is a vector quantity that indicates the overall polarity of a molecule. It is determined by the individual dipole moments of the bonds within the molecule and their spatial arrangement.
What is significance of dipole moment?
Dipole moment is the measure polarity of a polar covalent bond .In language of physics it can be defined as the measure of strength of electric dipole. It is defined as the product magnitude of charge on the atoms and the distance between the two bonded atoms. Its common unit is debye and SI unit is coulomb metre.The magnitude of dipole moment is equal to the product of either charge and the distance between the charges and its direction is from -q to +q.It is directed from the (-)ve charge to the (+)ve charge.In fact, it is the behavior of a dipole.A separation of charge forming a positive and a negative end of a molecule ~APEX
How electric field is equal to force by dipole moment?
when dipole moment,torque and electric field all the three are perpendicular to each other.
Which orientation of an electric dipole in an uniform electric field would correspond to unstable equilibrium?
So interesting query! As we keep the dipole with its dipole moment along the direction of the electric field then it will be in stable equilibrium. IF we keep the same dipole inverted ie its dipole moment opposite to the external field then the dipole will be in unstable equilibrium.
Why dipole moment is avector?
Since there is charge separation in a polar covalent bond, there is also resultant electric field from partial positive charge to partial negative charge.hence due to electric field in one direction and also magnitude of equal and opposite charge.....it is a vector.
Net dipole moment?
A separation of charge forming a positive and a negative end of a molecule. Good luck!
Why does CO2 have a permanent dipole-dipole interaction?
Carbonate (CO3 2-) is trigonal planar with a central C and three O's 120 degrees from each other (D3h symmetry). All the O's have the same electron density because of resonance. This gives carbonate no dipole.
What is the angle between the electric dipole moment and the electric field strength due to it on axial line?
direction-along the axis of dipole from -q to +q.
