Intermolecular bonding
Dipole-Dipole
Unsymmetrical molecules which have different electronegative atoms will form dipole-dipole interactions since these would be permanently charged. These interactions increase the boiling points of such compounds.
Induced dipole – Induced dipole
In the cases where the molecule is either symmetrical or when the atoms have similar electronegativity temporary charges will be found on each individual atom since the electron are all the time moving. When both electrons from a bond are closer to an atom they will produce a partial negative charge, with the other atom being partially positive.
Hydrogen Bonding
A hydrogen bond is the attractive interaction of a hydrogen atom with an electronegative atom, such as nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.
