A neutral water molecule 
in its vapour state has an electric dipole moment of magnitude 
C‐m. How far apart are the molecules centers of positive and negative charge
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
There are 10 electrons and 10 protons in a neutral water molecule.
So its dipole moment is 
Hence length of the dipole i.e., distance between centers of positive and negative charges is
