The Vietnam War (1954-1973) was a very long and costly war in which over three million people lost their lives. The United States became involved in the war to support their allies in South Vietnam. The U.S. and South Vietnam were fighting against the communist regime known as the Viet Kong.
Ion-dipole interaction (dipole-ion interaction): A noncovalent attraction between one pole of a bond dipole and an oppositely-charged ion. The Î´+ end of the bond dipole is attracted to an anion, and the Î´- end of the bond dipole is attracted to a cation.
Ion-dipole bonding is stronger than hydrogen bonding. An ion-dipole force consists of an ion and a polar molecule interacting. They align so that the positive and negative groups are next to one another, allowing for maximum attraction. An ion-induced dipole force consists of an ion and a non-polar molecule interacting.
