Re: Temporary Dipole Moment?
Induced dipoles are temporary interactions. A molecule with a permanent dipole would be considered polar.

Re: Temporary Dipole Moment?
It is possible to have a temporary dipole moment. A molecule with a permanent dipole moment would be a polar molecule. Hope this helps!

Yes, most dipole moments we have discussed are temporary. Since bonds are just areas where electrons are most likely to be found, there is no "permanent" dipole moment.

Re: Temporary Dipole Moment?
Dipole moments are temporary as they are areas where an electron(s) can be found.
