Chemistry · CHEMICAL BONDING AND MOLECULAR STRUCTURE
हिन्दीGiven below are two statements: Statement I: In chemistry, the crossed arrow (\( \mapsto \)) representing a dipole moment points with its head toward the negative centre and its cross on the positive centre. Statement II: The physical dipole moment vector convention in physics points from the negative charge to the positive charge. In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below:
Correct answer · Option 1
Both Statement I and Statement II are correct.
Explanation
Both statements are correct. In chemistry, the crossed arrow points toward the negative center (cross on positive end), which is opposite to the conventional dipole vector in physics (negative to positive).
