What does a non-polar molecule develop when placed in an external electric field?
AA reduced mass value
BA magnetic moment
CAn induced dipole moment
DA net free charge
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. An induced dipole moment
The field displaces positive and negative charges oppositely until restoring forces balance, giving an induced dipole moment.
