Dear Student,
Please find below the solution to the asked
query:

Dipole moment is calculated by the
following formula:

μ = q ×× lwhere μ is dipole moment = 1
2 D = 1 2 × 3
336 × 10-30 Cmq is magnitude of chargel is distance between charges or bond length = 1× 10-8 cm or 1 × 10-10 m
q =1 2 × 3
336 ×10-301×10-10q = 4×10-20 Cfraction of charge = 4 ×10-201
6 × 10-19= 0 25

Hope this information
will clear your doubts about determining the fraction of charge on
a diatomic atom with a dipole moment
