Question

What is the difference between ion-dipole, dipole-dipole, and dispersion?

Answer 1

London dispersion forces are the weakest intermolecular forces and ion crystallization is the strongest.

Explanation:

London dispersion forces occur between nonpolar molecules and are extremely weak.

Dipole-dipole forces are between polar molecules, and since polar molecules have slight charges, their force is more similar to ions, giving them a moderately strong bond. Hydrogen bonds occur when hydrogen is directly bonded to Flourine, Nitrogen, or Oxygen. Because of the extreme polarity if these molecules (e.g. water), hydrogen bonds are the strongest dipole-dipole bonds.

Ionic crystallization packs ions into a crystal, and those are extraordinarily hard to break.
