hydrogen bond - Which intermolecular interaction is dependent on the inverse cube of distance?




The intermolecular interaction that is dependent on the inverse cube of distance between molecules is:



  1. hydrogen bond

  2. ion-ion interaction

  3. ion-dipole interaction

  4. London force



Inverse cube of distance I think means an ion-dipole interaction, since we know force due to a dipole on a charge is inversely proportional to the cube of distance. But I don't understand why the answer given is hydrogen bond. What is the distance dependence of the hydrogen bond? Shouldn't the answer be (3)?
