Since, propane is symmetrical it is a non-polar molecule therefore it only has VDW forces. However, how do we determine that aldehydes have permanent dipole dipole forces?

Ethanal molecules have a polar C=O bond, so are polar molecules. The oxygen atom always have a high electron density, so the molecules will have London Forces and permanent dipole-dipole forces.

Thank you, so every aldehyde is polar (since every aldehyde contains a polar C=O bond)? Also, when writing the condensed structural formula for an alkene, can you leave out the double bond as below:
