Dipole dipole interaction
Accepted Answer
Dipole dipole interactions are a type of non-covalent interaction that occurs between neutral molecules. These interactions involve the electrostatic attraction between the positive and negative ends of the molecules. It involves the mutual orientation of polar molecules, whereby the positive end of one dipole is electrostatically attracted to the negative end of another. These interactions are key to the properties of many liquids and solutions, contributing to the cohesive forces that hold them together. They are also important in molecular recognition and self-assembly processes.
