Question
Define electric dipole moment. Write its S.I. unit.
✓
Answer
Electric dipole moment is defined as the numerical product of charge and distance between the charges, and is directed from negative to positive charge.Alternate Answer
$\overrightarrow{\text{p}} = \text{q}( 2 \overrightarrow{\text{a}})$ Unit: coulomb metre or Cm.
$\overrightarrow{\text{p}} = \text{q}( 2 \overrightarrow{\text{a}})$ Unit: coulomb metre or Cm.

Show that the minimum energy needed to separate a proton from a nucleus with $Z$ protons and $N$ neutrons is:
$\ce{\Delta\text{E}=(\text{M}_{\text{Z}-1,\text{N}}+\text{M}_{\text{H}}-\text{M}_{\text{Z,N}})\text{c}^2}$
where $\ce{M_{Z,N}}=$ mass of an atom with $Z$ protons and $N$ neutrons in the nucleus and $M_H =$ mass of a hydrogen atom. This energy is known as proton-separation energy.
