Dipole moment of a bond is a vector and physical quantity to calculate the parentage ionic character in a covalent bond. It is expressed as:

Dipole moment (μ)=δ×d
where δ is dipole moment and d is the bond length. It is usually expressed in terms of CGS unit known as Debye

(D). 1D=10-18 esu cm. In SI unit it is expressed in Coulomb meter. Resultant moment μR of two bond moments μ1 and μ2 acting at an angle θ, is given by

μR=μ12+μ22+2μ1μ2cosθ

If μ1=μ2, also if cosθ=-1, i.e., ,θ=180°, then μ=0

(molecule is non-polar).

If μ0 molecule is polar. Dipole moment plays an important role in deciding the stability order of alkanes, i.e., a more stable alkane has less dipole moment. The dipole moment of a molecule can predict the geometrical and position isomers as well as orientations in benzene nucleus and polarity of molecule.
