Dipole-induced dipole interactions, a specific type of Van der Waals force, are primarily present in — Chemical Bonding Chemistry Question

💡 Solution & Explanation

Dipole-induced dipole interactions occur between a polar molecule and a non-polar atom/molecule. $HCl$ is a polar molecule (permanent dipole) and $He$ is a non-polar noble gas atom. The dipole of $HCl$ induces a temporary dipole in the $He$ electron cloud.
