1
Q
Explain how id id interactions are formed
A
Due to constant, random motion of molecules, an instantaneous dipole arises when the electron cloud of a molecule is unevenly distributed instantaneously. This instantaneous dipole then induces a dipole on neighbouring molecules upon close approach
2
Q
What are id id interactions and what are PD PD interactions
A
Idid: electrostatic FOA between oppositely charged temporary dipoles in covalent molecules
Pdpd: electrostatic FOA between opp charged permanent dipoles in polar molecules
