What causes a molecule to have a net dipole moment

answer and explanations:

dipole moments occur when there is a separation of charge. Dipole moments occur due to atoms electronegativity, where one atom has the ability to attract electrons towards it giving the electrons a negative and a positive charge.

it is to be noted that an alpha particle is an helium nucleus. so it contains 2 protons 2 neutrons and has a mass number of 4. when alpha decay particles are ejected from the nucleus it gets transformed into an atom which has atomic number less than 2 and a mass number less than 4.

an equation that could represent alpha decay is radium 226 decay of alpha particle forms radon 222.
