  2. Intermolecular force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intermolecular_force

    Iondipole and ioninduced dipole forces are stronger than dipoledipole interactions because the charge of any ion is much greater than the charge of a dipole moment. Iondipole bonding is stronger than hydrogen bonding. [8] An iondipole force consists of an ion and a polar molecule interacting.

  3. Van der Waals force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_der_Waals_force

    London dispersion forces are also known as 'dispersion forces', 'London forces', or 'instantaneous dipoleinduced dipole forces'. The strength of London dispersion forces is proportional to the polarizability of the molecule, which in turn depends on the total number of electrons and the area over which they are spread.

  4. London dispersion force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/London_dispersion_force

    London dispersion forces (LDF, also known as dispersion forces, London forces, instantaneous dipoleinduced dipole forces, fluctuating induced dipole bonds [1] or loosely as van der Waals forces) are a type of intermolecular force acting between atoms and molecules that are normally electrically symmetric; that is, the electrons are ...

  5. Non-covalent interaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-covalent_interaction

    A dipole-induced dipole interaction (Debye force) is due to the approach of a molecule with a permanent dipole to another non-polar molecule with no permanent dipole. This approach causes the electrons of the non-polar molecule to be polarized toward or away from the dipole (or "induce" a dipole) of the approaching molecule. [13]

  6. Polarizability - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polarizability

    The polarizability of an atom or molecule is defined as the ratio of its induced dipole moment to the local electric field; in a crystalline solid, one considers the dipole moment per unit cell. [1] Note that the local electric field seen by a molecule is generally different from the macroscopic electric field that would be measured externally.

  7. Solvation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solvation

    Iondipole interactions; The van der Waals forces, which consist of dipoledipole, dipoleinduced dipole, and induced dipoleinduced dipole interactions. Which of these forces are at play depends on the molecular structure and properties of the solvent and solute.

  8. Dispersive adhesion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dispersive_adhesion

    Debye forces, or dipoleinduced dipole interactions, can also play a role in dispersive adhesion. These come about when a nonpolar molecule becomes temporarily polarized due to interaction with a nearby polar molecule. This "induced dipole" in the nonpolar molecule then is attracted to the permanent dipole, yielding a Debye attraction.

  9. Salt (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salt_(chemistry)

    This contrast is principally because the resulting iondipole interactions are significantly stronger than ion-induced dipole interactions, so the heat of solution is higher. When the oppositely charged ions in the solid ionic lattice are surrounded by the opposite pole of a polar molecule, the solid ions are pulled out of the lattice and ...
