Why are dipole—dipole molecular interactions stronger than dipole-induced dipole molecular interaction?
What will be an ideal response?
Both of these molecular interactions are electrical forces of attraction. According to Coulomb's Law, the greater the charge, the stronger the force of attraction. The charges within a dipole are larger than the charges within an induced dipole, hence, dipole—dipole molecular interactions tend to be stronger.
