• what are Dipole- Dipole attractions

  attractive forces between the positive end of one polar molecule and the negative end of another polar molecule.
• What are hydrogen bonds?

  Polar molecules containing hydrogen atoms bonded to very electronegative atoms such as fluorine (F), nitrogen (N) and oxygen (0)
• dispersion forces

  very weak attractive forces that occur between nonpolar molecules

  occur when movement induces a temporary distortion of the electrons in a molecule, creating a temporary dipole

  make it possible for nonpolar molecules to exist as liquid and solids
