The magnitude of the dipole moment of a water molecule in liquidwater is 6.2×10

Question

The magnitude of the dipole moment of a water molecule in liquidwater is 6.2×1030 C·m. Asimplified model of the water molecule H2O can beconstructed by imagining that each of the two hydrogen atoms in themolecule contributes its single electron to the one oxygen atom,and thereby becomes bound to it. In this model, the molecule is asimple dipole, with the oxygen atom at one end and the two hydrogenatoms at the other, each end having a charge of magnitude2e = 3.2×1019 C. Inthis model, what is the dipole separation of the charges in thewater molecule?

Explanation / Answer

I figured it out. Nevermind.
