In the nitrogen monoxide molecule, the dipole moment is 0.16 D and the bond length is 115 pm. Determine the sign and magnitude of the charge on the oxygen atom. Hint: Watch your units carefully with this problem.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The dipole moment (μ) is given by μ = q * d, where q is the charge and d is the bond length. Converting units and solving for q gives approximately -0.029 e⁻.
