Question

when a polar molecule causes a charge redistribution in a nonpolar molecule, what are the molecules of the mixture most likely experiencing?
dipole - dipole interactions
nonpolar - nonpolar interactions
dipole - induced dipole interactions
induced dipole - induced dipole interactions

Explanation:

A polar molecule has a permanent dipole. When it causes a charge - redistribution in a non - polar molecule, it induces a dipole in the non - polar molecule. Dipole - induced dipole interactions occur when a permanent dipole of a polar molecule induces a temporary dipole in a non - polar molecule.

Answer:

C. dipole - induced dipole interactions
