State
A dipole moment is the measurable separation of partial positive and partial negative charge that a polar bond produces.
Show
The H–Cl bond's dipole moment points from hydrogen's partial positive toward chlorine's partial negative end.
Watch for
A single bond's dipole moment isn't the whole molecule's dipole — Chem 1060 shows several bond dipoles can cancel to a nonpolar molecule.
