Question

What are dipole-dipole interactions?
Options
A Attractions between molecules that have permanent dipoles, where the positive end of one is attracted to the negative end of another
Correct Answer
B Forces between nonpolar molecules
C Forces between ions
D Forces within atoms
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Molecules that have permanent dipoles are attracted to each other. The positive end of one is attracted to the negative end of the other, and vice versa. These forces are only important when molecules are close to each other.
