dipole-dipole interactions

Dipole-dipole interactions occur between molecules that have a positive and a negative end, known as dipoles. These molecules are attracted to each other because the positive end of one molecule is drawn toward the negative end of another. This attraction influences how molecules behave, affecting properties like boiling points and solubility. Essentially, these interactions are like tiny magnetic pulls happening between molecules due to their uneven distribution of charge, leading to a form of intermolecular attraction essential in many physical and chemical processes.
