a positive charge and a negative charge separated by a distance
A dipole moment (µ) is the end of the vectorial sum of the electrical charges within a molecule or compound. e.a. CH4 is 100% symmetrical and have the same elements attached to it, so µ = 0. However, if you replace one -H with a -Cl then the vectorial sum is no longer zero since the charge is pointing towards the most electronegative element, in this case to -Cl. This creates a dipole moment.

What is the nature of attractive force among molecules in liquid bromine?
London dispersion forces the attraction OS instantaneous dipoles and included dipoles so you should select both A and C
How might a molecule with two strong bond dipoles have no molecular dipole at all?
A molecule with two strong bond dipoles can have no molecular dipole if the bond dipoles cancel each other out by pointing in exactly opposite directions. For example, in carbon dioxide (a linear molecule), the carbon-oxygen bonds have a large dipole moment. However, because one dipole points to the left and the other points to the right, the dipoles cancel and overall there is no molecular dipole.

How can a molecule be non polar when it consists of atoms that have different electronagativities?
When the bond dipoles cancel one another out. Fro example in CCl4 the bonds are polar but the molecule is non-polar (no dipole moment) as the bond dipoles all cancel out.
What is the difference between individual bond polarity and molecular polarity?
bond polarity is the polarity particular bond within a molecule, while molecular polarity is the polarity of the whole molecule. take for example water (H20): you could find the bond polarity of each H-0 bond (polar covalent), or the polarity of the whole molecule together (polar, because the electronegativity of oxygen is higher than the hydrogen atoms)
Dipoles arise when?
One end of a molecule or atom has a partial negative charge and the other end has a partial positive charge.
Are the attractive forces between polyethylene chains due to permanent dipoles or induced dipoles?
The attractive forces between chains are due to instantaneous induced dipoles, London dispersion forces,( not induced diipoles due to permananent dipoles). Polyethylene chains are long and the number of electrons is large- the intermolecular attraction will be significant.
What are dipoles?
Dipoles means "two poles". This refers to molecules or anything where the ends have different charges or fields or polarities. A dipole magnet has a north and south pole. Dipole failure in insulation is where + and - charged pieces oscillate and cause the insulation to fail. Many molecules are dipoles.
Are dipoles in magnets?
Yes! They are the ones doing the push(repel) and pull(attract). and even a single pole has no existence.this dipoles are resposible for dipole moment in a magnet.
What is a kooman antenna?
A vertical array of horizontal full-wave dipoles that are driven by transposed two-conductor line and backed with a parasitic reflecting curtain or horizontal dipoles.
What causes dipoles attractions?

What is a yagi?
A yagi is a directional antenna consisting of two or more dipoles.
