    Electrons are constantly in movement. Temporarily dipoles can occur in non-polar molecules when electrons move around and spontaneously come into close proximity with each other and become concentrated on one atom. When this happens one atom becomes temporarily more negatively charged than the other atom. Thus creating a momentary dipole.
