Dipole–dipole interactions are a type of intermolecular attraction—attractions between two molecules. ... An electric monopole is a single charge, while a dipole is two opposite charges closely spaced to each other. Molecules that contain dipoles are called polar molecules and are very abundant in nature.

What are the 5 types of intermolecular forces?

There are five types of intermolecular forces: ion-dipole forces, ion-induced-dipole forces, dipole-dipole forces, dipole-induced dipole forces and induced dipole forces.

What are the 3 intermolecular forces?

There are three types of intermolecular forces: London dispersion forces (LDF), dipole- dipole interactions, and hydrogen bonding. Molecules can have any mix of these three kinds of intermolecular forces, but all substances at least have LDF.
