TL;DR
I cannot understand what are pd-pd and id-id forces.
I cannot understand what are pd-pd and id-id bonds along with how to identify them. I think this is related to something about polar molecules but I’m just really lost right now.


I also need help on how to remember the names of the different shapes that the compounds form; e.g - Trigonal Planer.

If the molecule has a permanent dipole, it can participate in pd-pd bonds, if it doesn't have the permanent dipole - induced dipoles is the only thing it can count on.
