Realize that London forces and dipole–dipole interactions are different not in kind but in ____.

Answer

Realize that London forces and dipole–dipole interactions are different not in kind but in duration.
Realize that London forces and dipole–dipole interactions are different not in kind but in duration.
Note: Both are electrostatic forces between opposite partial charges; the difference is only in the transience or permanence of the molecular dipole.
