dipole dipole forces 

dispersion forces

hydrogen bonds

 

Definition
types of Noncovalent interactions
Term

Dipole- dipole forces

Occur between polar molecules as a result of electrostatic interactions

   

Term
Dispersion forces
Definition

Occur between all neighboring molecules and arise because the electron distribution within molecules that are constantly changing

Term
Hydrogen bonds
Definition

Most important noncovalent interaction in biological molecules

• Forces are result of attractive interaction between a hydrogen bonded to an electronegative O or N atom and an unshared electron pair on another O or N atom
