induced dipole-induced dipole

[SarahSteffen_LEC4]

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

[Kellylin_4D]

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.

[Venus_Hagan 2L]

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.

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?

[Maria Poblete 2C]

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.
