Dipole means that there's an uneven distribution of electrons in a molecule; this usually occurs when you've a molecule with atoms of very different electronegativities.
Covalent describes bonds that have electrons shared between atoms. The opposite of this would be ionic, where one atom takes electrons from another atom.

Which is stronger a Dipole-dipole attraction or covalent bond?
covalent bond.
What type of covalent bond is NH3?
Dipole dipole forces
How are covalent ionic dipole-dipole and London dispersion arranged in order of increasing strength?
'''''Increasing strength''''' 1.London dispersion 2. dipole-dipole 3. ionic 4. covalent
What is the type of compound of hydrogen sulfide ionic or covalent or polar covalent?
polar covalent compound, although the difference in electronegativity is not enough to form dipole, the assymetry of the compound structure causes it to gain polarity.
What type of intermolecular force is present in HBr?
Polar covalent- due to the difference in electronegativity between H and Br.
Which is stronger a Dipole-dipole attraction or covalent bond?
covalent bond.
What type of covalent bond is NH3?
Dipole dipole forces

What is the type of compound of hydrogen sulfide ionic or covalent or polar covalent?
polar covalent compound, although the difference in electronegativity is not enough to form dipole, the assymetry of the compound structure causes it to gain polarity.
Does menthanol have an ionic bond or covalent bond?
intramolecular: covalent bond intermolecular: dipole-dipole interaction (smaller version of ionic bond)
Is carbon tetrafluride ionic or covalent bond?
Covalent, specifically polar covalent with no dipole moment.
What type of intermolecular force is present in HBr?
Polar covalent- due to the difference in electronegativity between H and Br.
Is the bonding in phospholipids covalent or ionic?
interaction with water, dipole dipole interaction, within the phospholipid itself covalent
What is the predominant type of intermolecular force in OF2?
Since the covalent bond between sulfur and oxygen is polar, dipole dipole attractions are present as intermolecular forces.
What is a bond between polar covalent molecules called?
A bond between two or more polar covalent molecules is called a Dipole-Dipole attraction (or interaction).
Bonding three types strongest to weakest?
There are two kinds of chemical bonding in elements. They are ionic bonds and covalent bonds. Both are very important.
When a molecular solid mixes with water do the covalent bonds within molecules break?
No, dissolving does not break covalent bonds. The molecules separate because intermolecular forces such as dipole-dipole attractions are disrupted.
