The dipole moment, c
n1qmt vcuf8s,f*ugz. f+8/lsi+i1zw onsidered as a vector, points from the negative to the positive charge. The water molecule, Fig. 17–28, has a dipole moment which can be considered as the vector sum of the two dipole moments
suz1w+.u z m*8f8ng/si tlf+vi q, cf1, $\vec{P}_1$ and $\vec{P}_2$as shown. The distance between each H and the O is about $ 0.96\times10^{ -10}\,m$. The lines joining the center of the O atom with each H atom make an angle of $104^{\circ}\,$, as shown, and the net dipole moment has been measured to be $p\,=\,6.1 \times10^{-30 }\,C\cdot m$ Determine the charge q on each H atom.
