Interpretation:
The resultant of the given two dipoles has to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
Polar molecules are the molecules having a positive and negative end and so there will be a charge separation.
A polar molecule is a molecule where the polar bonds are asymmetrically arranged (the dipoles do not cancel)
A nonpolar molecule is a molecule with no polar bonds or a molecule where the polar bonds are symmetrically arranged.
In polar molecule the charge separation occurred with respect to the difference in electronegativity of atoms in the molecule.
Direction of dipole moment in a molecule is can be represented as follows,
Calculation of the dipole moment of polyatomic molecules:
