Molecules can be polar because of the unsymmetrical distribution of electrons. The dipole moment, μ Q r μ=Q×r The SI unit of dipole moment is the coulomb-meter (C⋅m), but another common unit is the debye (D). The two are related as 3.336×10^−30 C⋅m=1 D The percent ionic character is a comparison of the measured dipole moment of the bond to the expected dipole moment if electrons are instead transferred: %ionic character=measured dipole/if electrons transferred×100% The dipole moment if electrons are completely transferred is one for which a full unit of charge (1.60×10^−19 C) exists on each end of the bond.
