Question

The interaction between a polar and non-polar molecule is known as (A) dipole-dipole interaction (B) dipole-induced dipole interaction (C) ion-dipole interaction (D) None of the above

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

The interaction between a polar and non-polar molecule is known as dipole-induced dipole interaction. Permanent dipole of the polar molecule induces dipole on the electrically neutral molecule by deforming its electronic cloud.
Thus an induced dipole is developed in the other molecule.
