Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dipole-dipole interactions are defined as the attractive forces between polar molecules. Dispersion forces are attractive forces between nonpolar molecules or atoms, and ion-dipole interactions are attractive forces between an ion and a polar molecule. Therefore, only option II, dipole-dipole interactions, fits the definition given in the question.
