If I remember correctly,
So basically... One atom is able to attract the electrons in a covalent bond better than the other atom in the bond can. Since it can attract the electrons better, it has a greater share of the electrons. Electrons are negative, so this makes the atom's end of the covalent bond slightly negative. Since the other atom has a lesser share of the electrons, it is less negative and so it is slightly positive. Negative things and positive things attract, and so the slightly negative end (dipole) of one molecule is attracted to the slightly positive end (dipole) of another molecule, which is what dipole dipole attraction is

A dipole dipole bonding means that there are alternating charges to form a bonding: positive-negative-positive-negative-... etc.
Example: a water molecule has both a positive (hydrogen) and two negative charges (oxygen). Many water molecules are connected by alternating charges, so hydrogen and oxygen atoms. These connections are the hydrogen bridge bonding.

just another q- i hope this isnt too much to ask.. for questions asking which types of bonds are present, how do you approach? i know vdw is present in all, but can some molecules only have van der waals?

You get hydrogen bonding when the H is bonded to a very electronegative element, like F, O or N

try here:

there are other pages on Vdw bonding as well
