Good day class! Today, we are going to tackle about intermolecular forces.
CHEMISTRY
Ahh, Chemistrry Again!!!
Who has a prior knowledge about intermolecular forces? Anyone?
CHEMISTRY
Intermolecular forces are the act of repulsion and attraction between molecules.
Please stand!
Yes, that's it! Intermolecular forces are the attractive forces between molecules. There are 3 types of these forces namely...
Geez, what are those things?
CHEMISTRY
London dispersion forces, Dipole-dipoleand Hydrogen Bonding
My mind's gone blank!
Concept of London dispersion Force

I'm going home now to relax from the incident.

Ahh! What! This attraction again?
Oh man, London dispersion force again. I shouldn't met this fella.

... So, that is the London dispersion force. It is the weakest type of force among intermolecular forces due to the fact that it is a moment of instantaneous dipole between atoms/molecules having only partial positive or negative charges that attract temporarily.
Uhmm...
CHEMISTRY
Are there any questions and clarifications?
Next, is the Dipole-dipole force...
As what I have learned from your concept, is that London dispersion force is present between all molecules whether it is polar or non-polar.
Like in your concept earlier, two non-polar oxygen attract each other despite of no charges. However, electrons naturally roam in a molecule, and momentarily the electrons gather creating partial negative and partial positive charges that lead to attraction between the two oxygen atoms, so called London dispersion force.
CHEMISTRY
Well said, let us proceed to Dipole-dipole force...
