Dipole Moment vs Interactions
How does a dipole moment differ from a dipole interaction? Is it possible for a molecule to have both? And also, what is ion-ion dipole?

Re: Dipole Moment vs Interactions
Dipole interactions form between two molecules that each exhibit dipole moments (meaning that the molecules has uneven charge). So within the molecule itself it would be called a dipole moment, but with two or more molecules it would be a dipole interaction because the molecules with dipole moments are interacting with each other.

Re: Dipole Moment vs Interactions
Dipole interactions are present between dipole moments. A molecule that has dipole interactions must have dipole moments, so yes a molecule can have both. Finally, ion-ion interactions (not ion-ion dipoles, I think is what you are referring to) are the intermolecular interactions that are present between charged ions.
