The water molecule's dipole moment is 6.17×10-30C⋅m. What would be the separation distance if the molecule consisted of charges ±e? (The effective charge is actually less because H and O atoms share the electrons.) Express answer with appropriate units.
Some types of molecules that do not possess an intrinsic electric dipole moment can be given one by an external electric field in a process called charge separation, or polarization. In this process, their internal charge distribution becomes distorted by the field, which results in the region of a molecule on the side in the direction of the field gaining a positive net charge and the region on the other side gaining a negative net charge. Both charges have equal magnitudes, and the electric neutrality of the molecule as a whole is maintained. The electric field is said to induce an electric dipole moment in such a molecule. When the field is canceled, the molecule reverts to its unpolarized state and loses its electric dipole moment.
The electric behavior of such a molecule can be modeled by a pair of ±1.60×10^−19 C charges connected by a spring with force constant 0.000711 N/m. The spring must be imagined as possessing zero relaxed length so that normally the charges overlap and the…
