Answer is: dipole-induced dipole interactions.

Intermolecular forces are the forces between molecules or particles.

There are several types of intermolecular forces: hydrogen bonding, ion-induced dipole forces, ion-dipole forces and van der Waals forces.

A dipole-induced dipole interaction is a weak attraction that results when a polar molecule induces a dipole in a nonpolar molecule by disturbing the arrangement of electrons in the nonpolar species.
