Question

The types of attractive forces between a polar molecule and a non-polar molecule are:

• A. dipole-dipole forces
• B. hydrogen bonds
• C. dipole-induced dipole forces
• D. dispersion forces

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

dipole-induced dipole forces

A dipole-induced dipole attraction is a weak attraction that results when a polar molecule induces a dipole in an atom or in a non-polar molecule by disturbing the arrangement of electrons in the non-polar species.
