Dipole - Dipole force is determined as:

Explanation:

  • The magnitude of electronegativity difference reflects the degree of polarity.
  • Greater the difference in electronegativities of atoms forming the bonds , greater will be charge separation and hence greater will be the polarity of molecule results in formation of dipole dipole force of attraction.
