Considering ozone in liquid state, certainly there are london forces, but does the position of its molecules induce dipole intermolecular forces?

3"London forces" are dipole-dipole forces. Can you be more specific? – pentavalentcarbon Jul 03 '17 at 02:45

2@pentavalentcarbon I was thinking about dispersion forces. – Gabriel Jul 03 '17 at 03:27

1Ah. Dipole-dipole forces are dispersion forces. At least, when one induced dipole causes another induced dipole. If this happens, then dispersion is present. – pentavalentcarbon Jul 03 '17 at 04:29

Ozone has a bent structure with a partial positive charge on the central oxygen atom and partial negative charges on the two terminal oxygens. It has a permanent dipole moment of 0.53 D, according to Wikipedia.
