TeCl2

Hydrogen bond (H-Bond)

Polarity

Electron Rich Region

Dipole-Induced Dipole (D-ID)

Electronegativity

Electron Poor Region

Dipole-Dipole (D-D)

SeF6

Induced Dipole-Induced Dipole (ID-ID) London Dispersion Force (LDF)

the bigger region of a dipole; the dipole arrow points toward region

occurs when there is an unequal sharing of electrons

between two polar molecules

Attractive forces between molecules

between two nonpolar molecules

between one polar and nonpolar molecule

the smaller region of a dipole; dipole arrow points away from region

nonpolar

polar

Only happens when Hydrogen is bonded with Nitrogen, Oxygen or Fluorine; Strongest IMF

ability of an atom to attract electrons
