induced dipole-induced dipole
Typically, when do induced diple-induced dipole interactions occur/arise?

Re: induced dipole-induced dipole
They can happen in all molecules. Basically, electrons move around all the time so at a certain time, there can be a lot of electrons towards one side, so it would be partially negative there at that moment, temporarily.

Re: induced dipole-induced dipole
They pretty much happen in all molecules all of the time because the electrons are always moving and can pile up on one side temporarily at any time.

Re: induced dipole-induced dipole
Induced dipole - induced dipole is the same as London's dispersion right? I keep hearing people refer to this intermolecular force as either induced dipole - induced dipole or London's dispersion so I just want to make sure if they mean the same thing?

Re: induced dipole-induced dipole
Yes, induced dipole-induced dipole forces can also be considered London forces. They can also be referred to as dispersion forces, or van der Waals forces.
