Solution

Dipole-dipole forces

  • Dipole-dipole forces exist between molecules that have a permanent dipole.
  • Only partial charges are involved in this type of force. So this interaction is stronger than London forces but weaker than ion-ion interaction.
  • The attractive force reduces as the distance between the dipoles increases.

The dipole-dipole interaction between two HCl molecules is as follows:-
