Consider the formaldehyde molecule
(CH₂O) in figure. The partial charges
are indicated in red (e is the electron
charge in absolute value), the atomic
coordinates (x, y, z) in blue (in pm).
The z axis is through the origin and
perpendicular to the page.
Calculate the electric dipole moment
vector μ = (x, y, z) of the molecule
(in Debye, 1D= 20.81943 e.pm).
