An induced dipole can be created when a charged molecule comes near a neutral molecule (WaterontheWeb, 2004). The neutral molecule becomes more polar to reduce the effects of the charge on the other molecule and so becomes polarized itself. By rubbing the balloon on the body, it develops a positive charge which induces a negative dipole on the body's surface so the balloon is attracted to it in a dipole-dipole interaction.
