(N/A) Dipole-induced dipole forces are attractive forces that arise between a polar molecule (having a permanent dipole) and a non-polar molecule.
When a polar molecule approaches a non-polar molecule,the electric field of the polar molecule distorts the electron cloud of the non-polar molecule.
This distortion causes a temporary separation of charge in the non-polar molecule,creating an induced dipole.
The interaction between the permanent dipole of the polar molecule and the induced dipole of the non-polar molecule results in an attractive force known as dipole-induced dipole force.
The strength of this interaction depends on the dipole moment of the polar molecule and the polarizability of the non-polar molecule.
