How do you determine dipole dipole forces?

Answer 1

Christian Anderson

Dipole - Dipole force is determined as:

The degree of polarity is reflected in the magnitude of electronegativity difference.
The greater the difference in electronegativities of atoms forming the bonds, the greater the charge separation and, consequently, the polarity of the molecule, leading to the formation of a dipole dipole force of attraction.

Dipole-dipole forces are determined by identifying polar molecules with permanent dipoles and considering their spatial arrangement relative to each other. These forces arise from the attraction between the positive end of one polar molecule and the negative end of another polar molecule. The strength of dipole-dipole forces depends on the magnitude of the dipoles and the distance between them.

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.
