Arrows illustrate direction and amount of force.

When a molecule is close to its optimization, arrows become small and then vanish.

Now to dipole moment in a molecule.
Slide Number 8

Dipole Moment

Dipole moment is due to charge separation in polar molecules.

Dipole moment(μ) = charge(Q) * distance of separation(r)

Dipole moment is expressed in Debye units.

Cursor on the Panel. Now I will show dipole moment in hydrogen cyanide(HCN) and water molecules.
Point to Draw tool, Open a new window.

Using Draw tool, draw hydrogen cyanide(HCN) molecule on the Panel.

Select Hydrogen and draw bond to carbon.

Select Nitrogen, Select bond order as triple and draw a bond as shown.

Point to MMFF94 Force Field. Optimize the structure using MMFF94 Force Field.
Click on Dipole check box in Display Types. To show dipole moment click on Dipole check box in Display Types.
Point to red colored arrow Dipole is shown using a red colored arrow.
Go View menu.

Navigate to Properties >> select Molecule Properties.

Point to the window.

To view the estimated dipole moment, go to View menu.

Navigate to Properties and select Molecule Properties.

Molecule Properties window opens.

Point to the estimated dipole moment of hydrogen cynaide. Window shows estimated dipole moment of hydrogen cyanide as 0.396D.
Point to estimated dipole moment of water. Similarly the estimated dipole moment of water is 0.245D.
Let's summarize.
