States of Matter - Result Question 5

####5. Dipole-induced dipole interactions are present in which of the following pairs : [NEET 2013]

(a) Cl2 and CCl4

(b) HCl and He atoms

(c) SiF4 and He atoms

(d) H2O and alcohol

Show Answer

Solution:

  1. (b) HCl is polar (μ0) and He is non-polar (μ=0), thus gives dipole-induced dipole interaction.

Induced dipole forces result when an ion or a dipole induces a dipole in an atom or a molecule with no dipole. These are weak forces. These are of two types namely. Ion-induced dipole force and dipoleinduced force. Ion-induced dipole force: when the approach of an ion induces a dipole in an atom by disturbing the arrangement of electrons. Dipole induced dipole force: when a polar molecule induces a dipole in an atom or in a non-polar molecule.
