Question

Can someone give a brief description of

1. dispersion forces
2. dipole-dipole
3. Hydrogen Bonding

Answer 1

1) Dispersion forces: It is a type of force which is present between atoms and molecules. It is a weakest intermolecular force that occurs between atoms. It is also called induced dipole-induced dipole attraction.

2. Dipole-dipole: It is a type of attractive force which is present between the negative end of one molecule with the positive end of another molecule. This type of attractive force occurs between polar molecules.

3) Hydrogen bond: It is a type of electromagnetic force which is present between hydrogen and high electronegative atoms such as nitrogen and oxygen etc.
