Calculate the dipole moment of HF for the bonding MO in Equation (23.33). Use the method outlined

Question:

Calculate the dipole moment of HF for the bonding MO in Equation (23.33). Use the method outlined in Section 23.8 to calculate the charge on each atom. The bond length in HF is 91.7 pm. The experimentally determined dipole moment of ground-state HF is 1.91 debye, where 1 debye = 3.33 × 10–30 C m. Compare your result with this value. Does the simple theory give a reliable prediction of the dipole moment?
