Define polar dipole and dipole moment?

In: Organic Chemistry, Electrostatics, Speed of Light [Edit categories]

Answer:

Electric dipole in the polar molecules in which the centre of positive charge does not coincide with the centre of negative charge is called polar dipole.
And,the behavior of a dipole that is described by a vector p that is p = q x 2a is called dipole moment.
