These are the choices:
A) Because the atoms have different shapes.
B) Because the atoms have different sizes.
C) Because the electron density is uniform.
D) Because the electron density is greater around one atom.
Ay molecule with a net dipole moment will have dipole -dipole interactions. These are molecules with polar bonds caused by a diference in electronegativity between the atoms being bonded.
Symmetric molecules have no dipole moment. An example is carbon tetrachloride, CCl4 , which has no dipole moment yet the C-Cl bonds are polar, (chlorine is more electronegative than carbon). The chlorine atoms each have a small negative charge but because the molecule is tetrahedral there is no dipole and therefore no 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
A dipole moment is defined as a measure of the molecular polarity of a compound; the magnitude of the partial charges on the ends of a molecule times the distance between them (in meters). In order for there to be a dipole moment the element must must have molecular polarity which results from molecules with a net imbalance of charge (often a result of differences in electronegativity). If the molecule has more than two atoms, both shape and bond polarity determines the molecular polarity. In general look for a difference in electronegativity of the elements of a molecule which results in polarity and thus a possible dipole moment. Note that molecular shape influence polarity so molecules with the same elements but a different shape (and vice versa) won't have the same dipole moment.
An overall dipole moment is H2S.

Water (H20) is a polar covalent molecule with two highly electronegative oxygen atoms. The electronegative oxygen atoms create a dipole moment, and are also cause H20s bent shape.
The HBr molecule is linear (obviously, since it contains only two atoms). The dipole moment is a vector, parallel to the bond, pointing toward the partially positively charged atom, which is, in this case, the hydrogen. The magnitude of the dipole moment is the difference in the partial electrical charges on each atom times the spatial separation of the atoms in the bond. In a molcule with more than two atoms (more than one bond), the dipole moment of each bond must be added vectorially and the resultant vector will determine the dipole moment of the molecule. For instance, carbon dioxide has two carbon-oxygen double bonds of high polarity, but because the molecule is linear, and the individual dipoles oppose each other, the carbon dioxide molecule has no net dipole moment.
Generally if a molecule contains polar bonds and the bond dipole moments do not cancel each other out then that molecule will have an overall dipole moment. Bond dipoles arise when there is a significant difference in electronegativity between the atoms in the bond. There some cases such as phosphine PH3 where the lone pair can make a significant contribution to the molecular dipole moment.

No. nitrogen gas is N2. It is symmmetric, both atoms are the same- there is no dipole.
Because of the difference in electronegativities between atoms in a molecule, the electrons in a molecule can be drawn more strongly to one part of the molecule over another. If one region of a molecule is asymmetric and accompanies this difference in electronegativity, a dipole moment results. Examples: 1) water - H-O-H - oxygen more electronegative than hydrogen...oxygen side is more negative than hydrogen side 2) ammonia - NH3 - pyramidal structure of ammonia leaves hydrogen with one unshared pair of electrons...which makes the unpaired side more negative than the side with three hydrogen atoms However, even with dipole moments within a molecule, symmetries can prevent a net dipole moment from forming. An example is carbon tetrachloride (CCl4). In this molecule, dipole moments exist between chlorine atoms (more electronegative) and the central carbon atom (less electronegative). However, because of the tetrahedral symmetry of the molecule, no net dipole moment is formed.
From a physical standpoint, the dipole moment vector of a molecule is the net electric static force between the atoms. Assuming the molecule to be symmetrical, the vectors from the hydrogens toward the oxygen will cancel in the x-direction, leaving only a vector going from the center of the two hydrogens toward the oxygen.
Carbon dioxide is a linear molecule and any charges on the oxygens cancel each other out. emember vectors? Water is not linear the bent shape means that the charges on the H atoms do no cancel each other.
