The most important intermolecular forces in solvents are London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole attractions, and hydrogen bonding.<\/li>\n<li>London dispersion forces are the weakest of the three forces and are due to the fluctuations of the electron density in the molecules. These forces are responsible for the solubility of nonpolar molecules in nonpolar solvents and for the solubility of polar molecules in polar solvents.<\/li>\n<li>Dipole-dipole attractions are the result of the attraction between the positive and negative poles of two molecule dipoles. These forces are responsible for the solubility of polar molecules in polar solvents.<\/li>\n<li>Hydrogen bonding is the strongest of the three forces and is due to the interaction of a hydrogen atom attached to a nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine atom with an electron on another atom.
