Question

In dipole-induced dipole forces, the dipole moments (μ) of polar and non polar molecules are

• A. μ > 0 and μ = 0
• B. μ < 0 and μ > 0
• C. μ = 0 and μ < 0
• D. μ = 0 for both

Answer 1

The correct option is A

μ > 0 and μ = 0

The dipole-Induced dipole attractive forces operate between polar molecules having μ > 0 and the non-polar molecules having μ = 0.
