Question 3 • Chemistry

Which interaction produces dispersive forces by creating temporary dipoles that induce dipoles in other molecules?

Answer
A
dipole-dipole
B
dipole-induced dipole
C
induced dipole-induced dipole
D
hydrogen bonds

Explanation

Dispersive forces arise when momentary shifts in electrons create temporary dipoles. These temporary dipoles induce dipoles in nearby molecules, producing an induced dipole-induced dipole attraction. Therefore, the correct choice is induced dipole-induced dipole.
