What's the difference between an ion ion interaction and dipole dipole interaction?

ion has complete charge so attraction between A- and B+ is called ion-ion interaction.
dipole ( two pole ) is due to existence of PARTIAL positive or negative charge . This charge is due to
difference in electro negativity and this charge is represented by DELTA symbol. So the dipole dipole interaction is much less than an ion - ion interaction ( in terms of strength).

As mentioned earlier, ion-ion interactions are strong intermolecular forces between molecules due to complete separation of discrete opposites charges. Whereas a dipole-dipole interaction is due to the attraction of two partially opposite charged species due to a difference in electronegativity between the two atoms.
