What is a dipole-dipole force?
Correct answer: A. The force that acts between the different polar ends of molecules
- A. The force that acts between the different polar ends of molecules
- B. The force that acts within the same polar ends of molecules
- C. The attractive force that occurs between an ion and a dipole
- D. The force that acts between non polar molecules
Explanation
A dipole-dipole force is a force that acts between the different polar ends of molecules. There is a dipole-dipole force between chlorine and hydrogen between two different polar ends of molecules. The relatively positive end of a polar molecule will attract the relatively negative end of another HCl molecule. Therefore, option A is correct.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
