Answer:

A dipole-dipole force is when the positive side of a polar molecule attracts the negative side of another polar molecule.

A hydrogen bond is a dipole-dipole force and is an attraction between a slightly positive hydrogen on one molecule and a slightly negative atom on another molecule.

Answer:

Hydrogen bonds are dipole-dipole interactions in which at least one of the atoms involved is a hydrogen atom. Dipole-induced dipole bonds are those electric bonds that exist between a molecule with a permanent dipole moment and a molecule in which a temporary dipole moment has been induced.
