Difference between dipole and dipole dipole attraction? (1 Viewer)

[ParraEelz]

What is it?

Diagrams would be good. thanks

I never heard of a 'dipole attraction'

A dipole just means that in a certain molecule, there's a partial positive and a partial negative.

A dipole-dipole interaction refers to two molecules with dipoles forming intermolecular bonds.

Dipole-Dipole forces have stronger inter molecular bonds, therefore the melting point of that substance is higher.

Do you know what you're talking about? A dipole just means that it has polarity (partially positive and partially negative).

It goes from (strongest to weakest):
ion-dipole
hydrogen bonding
dipole-dipole
dispersion

Aren't dispersion forces similar/ or the same as intermolecular forces?

They're a branch of intermolecular forces.
