Figure 8. The Effect of Symmetry on the Polarity of the Charge/Dipole Complex.

Figure 8

The orientation and the positions of dipoles around a charge will influence the overall polarity of the charge/dipole complex. Localization of the dipoles around a charge will result in greater polarity of the charge/dipole complex, b., compared to a more symmetric orientation of the dipoles around a charge, a.
