It is a type of attraction between the positive end of a polar molecule and the negative end of another polar molecule.

Molecules like HCl are made up of elements with vastly different electronegativities, Chlorine being extremely electronegative and Hydrogen being much, much less electronegative. Highly electronegative elements like Chlorine pull electrons shared in their covalent bonds much harder toward their nucleus and away from the other atom's. This means that the electron (which is negatively charged) will be closer to the Chlorine atom than the Hydrogen atom, creating a negative charge on the Chlorine side of the molecule and a positive charge on the Hydrogen side, making HCl a polar molecule. When near other polar molecules, the positive hydrogen side will attracted to their negative ends and the negative Chlorine side will be attracted to their positive ends, which is a dipole interaction

They are the interactions that are caused by permanent dipoles in molecules.

When an atom is covalently bonded to another atom of different electronegativity the electronegative atom pulls the electrons in the bond nearer to itself, becoming slightly negative. Therefore the other atom becomes positive, this causes electrostatic forces between the atoms. The molecules rearrange in order to cause more attraction n consequently reduce potential energy.

When a polar and a non-polar molecule come close the attraction taking place between them due to partial charges isknown as dipole induced dipole interaction.

the positive end of one molecule attracts the mobile electrons of the nearby non polar molecule in this way polarity is induced these forces called as dipole-induce dipole forces

induced dipole-induced dipole bonds are the weak intermolecular force of attraction between non-polar covalent molecules.
