Question

question 2 (2 points)
indicate the strongest attraction between the two molecules
--1-- between two nonpolar molecules
--2-- between a nonpolar molecule and a polar molecule
--3-- between a nonpolar molecule and an ion
--4-- between two polar molecules
--5-- between a polar molecule and an ion
--6-- between two polar molecules where one has an n and the other has an o-h
a. londons
b. dipolar
c. hydrogen bond
d. ion-dipole

Explanation:

• London’s forces (dispersion forces) are the weakest intermolecular forces and occur between non - polar molecules.
• Dipolar forces occur between polar molecules.
• Hydrogen bonds are a special type of dipole - dipole interaction where a hydrogen atom is bonded to a highly electronegative atom (N, O, or F).
• Ion - dipole forces occur between an ion and a polar molecule.
• The strength of intermolecular forces follows the order: ion - dipole > hydrogen bond > dipolar > London’s.

Answer:

D. ion - dipole
