"Dipole moment is a vector quantity." What does this mean? How is it represented?
(N/A) dipole moment is a vector quantity,which means it has both magnitude and a specific direction.
It is represented by a small arrow with a tail on the positive center and the head pointing towards the negative center. The symbol used is $\longmapsto$.
