Question

Dipole-dipole forces act between the molecules possessing permanent dipole. Ends of dipoles possess 'partial charges'. The partial charge is:

• A. more than unit electronic charge
• B. equal to unit electronic charge
• C. less than unit electronic charge
• D. double the unit electronic charge

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

less than unit electronic charge

Partial charges are always less than the unit electronic charge $(1.6\times {10}^{-19}C)$.
