How do typical dipole-dipole forces differ from hydrogen bonding interactions?

Answer 1

Natalie Anton

See explanation.

Typical dipole-dipole forces are strong bonds between atoms, some of them usually quite electronegative.

Hydrogen Bonding is between molecules and is a weak bond that usually requires the presence of hydrogen.

Dipole-dipole forces involve interactions between the positive end of one polar molecule and the negative end of another, while hydrogen bonding specifically occurs when a hydrogen atom, covalently bonded to a highly electronegative atom, interacts with a lone pair on another electronegative atom. Hydrogen bonding is a stronger and more specific type of dipole-dipole interaction.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
