Dipole - induced dipole interactions are present in which of the following pairs :

(1) and alcohol
(2) and
(3)HCl and He atomsCorrect
(4) and He atoms

Answer: (3)

Solution

A dipole-induced dipole interaction needs one polar molecule (permanent dipole) and one non-polar species that gets polarised by it. HCl is polar and He is a non-polar atom, so HCl induces a dipole in He: pair (3). (1) and
