Definitions I

Question 1

Induced dipole-dipole interaction

Answer 1

Attractive forces between induced dipole in different molecules; also called London forces

Question 2

Initiation

Answer 2

The first stage in a radical reaction in which radicals starts when a covalent bond is broken by homiletic fission of a covalent bond

Question 3
