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.

come closer and become far apart and become steam/gas

another example of kinetic energy would be,

kinetic energy   >     moving energy
