- (III) The dipole moment, considered as a vector, points from the negative to the positive charge. The water molecule, Fig. 17-42, has a dipole moment p which can be considered as the vector sum of the two dipole moments, P¡ and pP2, as shown. The distance between each H and the O is about 0.96 x 10-10 m. The lines joining the center of the O atom with each H atom make an angle of 104°, as shown, and the net dipole moment has been mea- sured to be p = 6.1 × 10-30 C · m.
