Dipole moment of a bond is a vector and physical quantity to calculate the percentage 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 C.G.S. unit known as Debye (D) 1D=10-18 esu cm. In S.I. unit it is expressed in coulomb metre. Resultant dipole moment μRof 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, ie, θ=180°, then μ=0 (molecule is non-polar)

If $\mu \neq 0$ 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.
