Question

When an electrostatic force of attraction exists between covalently bonded hydrogen atom of one molecule and the electronegative atom of another molecule, what intermolecular force is involved?

Answer 1

Dipole-Dipole Attractions

Dipole–dipole interactions are a type of intermolecular attraction—attractions between two molecules. Dipole-dipole interactions are electrostatic interactions between the permanent dipoles of different molecules. These interactions align the molecules to increase the attraction.
