What are the attractive forces that occur between polar molecules called?
ion-dipole forces
induced-dipole forces
particle - dipole forces
dipole-dipole forces
Dipole-dipole forces are the attractive forces that occur between polar molecules. A molecule of hydrogen chloride has a partially positive hydrogen atom and a partially negative chlorine atom. In a collection of many hydrogen chloride molecules, they will align themselves so that the oppositely charged regions of neighboring molecules are near each other.
