Ion-dipole interactions occur when an ion interacts with a polar molecule. The positive end of the polar molecule is attracted to the negative ion and vice versa.
A polar molecule has a net dipole as a result of opposing charges due to its molecular structure and electronegativity differences.
Electronegativity refers to an atom's ability to attract shared electrons in a chemical bond.
Ionic bonding is the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms generating two oppositely charged ions.
