Question
What is the difference between a dipole and electronegativity difference?
Step 1
A dipole is a molecule that has a partial positive charge at one end and a partial negative charge at the other end. This is due to the unequal sharing of electrons between two atoms in a molecule. The atom with the higher electronegativity will pull the electrons Show more…
