Nomenclature of Covalent Compounds

Question 16 • *26-27 CFISD TX-Chemistry A CR

A mixture of hydrogen sulfide (H2S) and hydrogen chloride (HCl):

Answer
A
hydrogen bonding
B
dipole–dipole interactions
C
dipole-induced dipole interactions
D
London dispersion forces

Explanation

Both H₂S and HCl are polar molecules, so their permanent dipoles attract one another through dipole–dipole interactions. They also experience London dispersion forces, but hydrogen bonding is not expected because neither molecule has hydrogen bonded to nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine. The best choice is dipole–dipole interactions.
