sugar dissolves readily in water because it can undergo _________ with the aqueous solvent.
dipole - dipole forces
london dispersion forces
hydrogen bonding
covalent bonding
Ethanol and sugar both have -OH groups which can form hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Hydrogen bonding is a strong intermolecular force that promotes solubility in water. Covalent bonding is within - molecule bonding, not intermolecular. Dipole - dipole forces are weaker than hydrogen bonding in this context and London Dispersion forces are the weakest intermolecular forces.
