This classification table gives a good general understanding of predicting molecular dipole of some general molecular structures.

An oscillating molecular dipole, for instance, can then interact directly with the oscillating electric vector of electromagnetic radiation of the same frequency, leading to resonant absorption of radiation.

These trends can be attributed to the fact that the dipoles of the substituents in a cis isomer will add up to give an overall molecular dipole.

Capacitor Such measurements also allow to access values of molecular dipoles.

Peter Debye develops the concept of molecular dipole to describe asymmetric charge distribution in some molecules.

The former requires asymmetry with respect to the mid-plane of the lipid bilayer, and is realized often by introducing an overall molecular dipole.

Note that this final London equation does not contain instantaneous dipoles (see molecular dipoles).

This field exerts a torque on the molecular dipoles causing the directions of the dipole moments to align with the field direction.

This change in the molecular dipoles is called oriented polarization and also causes heat to be generated, resulting in dielectric losses, see dissipation factor.

Any molecule is 'coloured' only in certain directions - those from which a photon of light can couple with the appropriate molecular dipole.
