[Avogadro-Discuss] Questions about dipole moments

2012-12-09 Thread Steven Petrovic
Dear List Members, I am building some simple molecules in Avogadro for a future lab experiment. I built carbon dioxide by selecting carbon and a double bond order, and I turned off the adjust hydrogens box. I created C = C = C, went back and selected oxygen, and clicked on the outer carbon atoms to
