Question
**Question:**

Which situation below results in the smallest dipole moment?

**Options:**

- ○ +2 and -2 charges separated by 400 pm

- ○ +1 and -1 charges separated by 800 pm

- ○ +1 and -1 charges separated by 600 pm

- ○ +2 and -2 charges separated by 800 pm

- ○ +2 and -2 charges separated by 600 pm

**Explanation:**

The dipole moment (\(\mu\)) is calculated using the formula \(\mu = q \times d\), where \(q\) is the magnitude of the charge and \(d\) is the distance between the charges. To find the smallest dipole moment, you need both low charge values and a shorter distance between them.
