Induced Dipole - Induced Dipole

[brandonabrajano2G]

How do we identify an induced dipole - induced dipole bond and what separates them from dipole - dipole or dipole - induced dipole bonds?

An induced dipole - induced dipole interaction occurs between two non-polar molecules that are merely attracted from the temporary distortion of electrons. This is contrary to a dipole-dipole interaction where two polar molecules with partial positive and negative sides are attracted. This also differs from an induced dipole - dipole interaction where the partial negative and positive of a polar molecule create a very small attractive force that shifts the distortion of a non polar molecule.

from what I know, an induced dipole–induced dipole bond happens when two non-polar molecules create brief attractions due to their distortions in electron density. Then for a dipole-dipole bond, it happens between two polar molecules that attract through their partial positive and negative charges. In a dipole–induced dipole bond, the partial charges of a polar molecule cause a slight electron distortion in a nearby non-polar molecule which results in a temporary attraction.
