Question

The dipole-dipole interaction requires:
Options
A Hydrogen bonding only
B Atoms with the same electronegativity
C Ions with full charges
D Partially charged ends on polar molecules
Correct Answer
Correct Answer

Option D is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Dipole-dipole interactions occur between polar molecules. Polar molecules have a permanent separation of charge, creating a partial positive end (δ+) and a partial negative end (δ-). These opposite partial charges attract each other.

Hint

This force exists between molecules that have a permanent dipole moment.
