Question
what type or types of intermolecular forces exist or exists in the molecule below? hbr
Brief Explanations
- London - Dispersion forces exist in all molecules as they result from temporary fluctuations in electron - cloud distribution.
- HBr is a polar molecule because of the electronegativity difference between H and Br. The more electronegative Br attracts the shared electrons more, creating a dipole. So, dipole - dipole forces are present.
- Hydrogen bonding occurs when H is bonded to N, O, or F. Since Br is not N, O, or F, there is no hydrogen bonding in HBr. Also, HBr is a covalent molecule, so there is no ionic bonding.
