What are dipole-dipole interaction?

0

A dipole-dipole interaction is when the partial negative charge on a dipole molecule is attracted to the partial positive charge on another dipole molecule. For instance, in water, the oxygen recieves a greater share of the electrons and therefore ends up with a partial negative charge leaving the hydrogen atoms with a partial positive charge on their end. When the positive end (hydrogen) meets with the negative end (oxygen) on another water molecule, they attract each other. But in the case of water, it is better known as hydrogen bonding because the hydrogen atom is bonded to a very electronegative element (these can either be fluorine, nitrogen, or in this case, oxygen; which are the three most electronegative elements), therefore, the oxygen possesses such a large amount of the ratio of the electron sharing that it leaves the nucleus of the hydrogen atom (which is positive) completely exposed to be vulnerable to the attraction of other oxygen atoms. Because of the oxygens intense e
