An induced dipole occurs when one molecule with a permanent dipole repels another molecule's electrons, causing the electrons to be more concentrated on one end of the molecule than another.

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Dipole-dipole interaction:-

This is the interaction between the two dipoles in the molecule which is formed by varying electronegativities.

Induced dipole-dipole interaction:-

These interactions results between the interactions of a permanent dipole and an induced dipole. The permanent dipole when reaches a molecule's proximity, causes the electrons to pull itself and making it a temporary dipole and thus, results in these kind of interactions.

Hence, the given statement is true.
