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

Does ch3cl have dipole-dipole attractions?

Yes, CH3Cl (methane) has dipole-dipole attractions. This is because the molecule has a net dipole moment resulting from the uneven distribution of electrons around the carbon and chlorine atoms. This dipole moment allows CH3Cl to exhibit dipole-dipole interactions with other polar molecules.


Is CH2O a dipole dipole?

yes it is dipole dipole as it contain one electron attracting atom chlorin which create dipole in molecule.


Which has the smallest dipole-dipole forces NO O2 HBr or CH3Cl?

O2 has the smallest dipole-dipole forces because it is nonpolar, lacking a permanent dipole moment. The other molecules listed (NO, HBr, CH3Cl) all exhibit polar bonds and have dipole moments, allowing for stronger dipole-dipole interactions.
