Question

What will most likely happen when these molecules get closer? The molecules will repel each other because of a dipole-dipole interaction. The molecules will attract each other because of a dipole-dipole interaction. An induced dipole will be produced in the molecule on the right. An induced dipole will be produced in the molecule on the left.

Answer 1

The question is incomplete. The complete question is

In the molecule on the left, areas that have a partial negative charge are pink and areas that have a partial positive charge are blue. The molecule on the right is nonpolar.

What will most likely happen when these molecules get closer?

The molecules will repel each other because of a dipole-dipole interaction. The molecules will attract each other because of a dipole-dipole interaction. An induced dipole will be produced in the molecule on the right. An induced dipole will be produced in the molecule on the left.

Answer:

An induced dipole will be produced in the molecule on the right.

Explanation:

The molecule on the left already possesses a dipole. A dipole means the presence of a negative end and a positive end in a molecule.

Hence when the other molecule approaches, the polarized molecule induces a dipole on it. This second kind of dipole is known as 'induced dipole' hence the answer.
