attractive forces between polar molecules
Dipole-dipole forces
attractive forces between an ion and a polar molecule
Ion-Dipole Forces
attractive forces between ions
Ionic bond
London Dispersion Forces or Van der Waals interaction
attractive forces that arise as a result of temporary induced dipoles in atoms or molecules
Dispersion forces
is the ease with which the electron distribution the atom or molecule can be distorted
Polarizability
is a special dipole-dipole interaction between the two hydrogen atom in a polar and an electronegative O, N, or F atoms
Hydrogen bond
is the amount of energy required to stretch or increase the surface of a liquid by a unit area
Surface tension
is the intermolecular attraction between like molecules
Cohesion
is the attraction between unlike molecules
Adhesion
is a measure of a fluids resistance to flow
Viscosity
