What happens when a molecule with a dipole is put in an electric field

Explanation:

Many molecules have such dipole moments due to non-uniform or uneven distribution of the positive and negative charges on the atoms. Example are polar compounds like HCl, H2O, HF.

There are 3 types of molecular dipoles:

• Instantaneous dipole

• Permanent dipole

• induced dipole

A molecule with a dipole is placed in an external electric field, it results in a torque (force x distance) that aligns it with the external field.

If a nonpolar atom (or molecule) is placed in an external field, it gains an induced dipole that is aligned with the external field.

a high pressure system is a dense air mass that is usually cooler and drier than the surrounding air. a low pressure system is a less dense air mass that is usually wetter and warmer than the surrounding air.

in general, areas that experience high atmospheric pressure also experience fair weather. low pressure systems can cause the formation of clouds and storms. air usually flows from areas of high pressure to areas of low pressure..
