Dipole moment is a measurement of the separation of charges in compounds. It occurs between ions in an ionic bond or between atoms in a covalent bond.

The net dipole moment of zero can occur in two instances:

  1. In homoatomic molecules (e.g. O2_2, N2_2, Cl2_2)

  2. In covalent compounds that have a symmetrical shape (e.g. CO2_2, CH4_4, SF6_6).
