Summary
| Description |
English: In isolation, atoms have spherical charge distributions with no dipole moment (top). Applied electric fields () push electron density in the direction of the field, creating a depletion of charge on one side of the atom ()and an increase in charge on the other side (). This creates an induced dipole moment. |
