Dipole Moments<br />

• In thinking about dipole moments, we have to consider the three-dimensional structure of the<br />

molecule.<br />

• Dipoles can cancel each other out, if the same type of bonds are oriented in opposite<br />

directions.<br />

Example<br />

• Example: Which of these molecules have dipole moments Which, if any, have polar bonds<br />

but no dipole moment<br />

CCl 4 NH 3 H 2 O CO 2
