Question

In a given moment, the electron density may be unequally distributed between the two atoms: resulting in a ____.

Answer

In a given moment, the electron density may be unequally distributed between the two atoms: resulting in a rapid polarization and counterpolarization of the electron cloud and the formation of short-lived dipole moments.
