I need help with intermolecular forces...
I understand that an ionic bond is between a metal and nonmetal and that a covalent bond is between 2 nonmetals.
I also understand that a hydrogen bond has to do with H bonding with an O, N, or F.
I'm pretty sure that a dipole-dipole is between 2 polar molecules.
But I am confused when it comes to "dispersion" or as some call "induced dipoles." I realize that these are bonds between 2 nonpolars, but my question is: What is the difference between a covalent bond and an induced dipole bond?

The induced dipole bond is when it can occur when a molecule with a permanent dipole repels another molecule's electrons. the covalent bond isa chemical bond that involves sharing a pair of electrons between atoms in a molecule. thats the best i can do. hope it helps.

in addition, intermolecular forces are much weaker than intramolecular forces (i.e. covalent bonds).

Thank you both, I think I got it :)
