Title: Ion-Dipole and Electrostatic Interaction
Post by: Erin_cell on May 16, 2020, 11:23:41 PM

Can someone help me understand the difference between ion dipole and electrostatic interaction? How do they differ?

Please elaborate, it is not clear what you are asking.

@OP,

These two types of intermolecular forces are similar but not the same.  Can you explain or give an example of one or both?
