  • Permanent dipole
    A small charge difference that does not change across a bond, with positive and negative partial charges on the bonded atoms: the result of the bonded atoms having different electronegativities.
  • Permanent dipole-dipole interactions
    Attractive forces between the permanent dipoles in different molecules.
  • London forces
    Attractive forces between Induced dipoles in different molecules: also known as induced dipole-dipole interactions
  • Dipole
    A separation in electrical charge so that one atom of a polar covalent bond, or one end of a polar molecule, has a small positive charge, δ+, and the other has a small negative charge, δ-
  • Dipole-dipole force
    An attractive force between permanent dipoles in neighbouring polar molecules
