The gaseous potassium chloride molecule has a measured dipole moment of 10.3 D, which indicates that it is a very polar molecule. The separation between the nuclei in this molecule is 2.67 Å. What would the dipole moment of a KCl molecule be if there were opposite charges of one fundamental unit (1.60 × 10-19 C) at the nuclei?
