Question
the strongest type of intermolecular force in a sample of ch₃oh is _____________.
covalent
dipole
london
ionic
hydrogen bonding
Brief Explanations
Intermolecular forces are attractions between molecules. Covalent and ionic bonds are intramolecular (within molecules), so they are excluded. London forces are weak dispersion forces, dipole forces are moderate, but CH₃OH has an -OH group where hydrogen is bonded to oxygen (electronegative atom), enabling hydrogen bonding—the strongest intermolecular force here.
