Question
given molecules with the same molecular weight, in general, which of the following intermolecular forces is the strongest? strongest dipole - dipole forces london dispersion forces hydrogen bonding weakest
Hydrogen bonding is a special type of dipole - dipole interaction. It occurs when a hydrogen atom is bonded to a highly electronegative atom (such as N, O, or F). London dispersion forces are the weakest intermolecular forces as they are due to temporary dipoles. Dipole - dipole forces are stronger than London dispersion forces but weaker than hydrogen bonding. For molecules of the same molecular weight, hydrogen bonding is the strongest among the given intermolecular forces.
