Intermolecular Forces

Question 7 • *26-27 CFISD TX-Chemistry A CR

Which of the intermolecular forces below occurs between polar molecules?

Answer
A
dipole-dipole interactions
B
London dispersion forces
C
hydrogen bonding
D
Van der Waals forces

Explanation

Polar molecules have permanent partial positive and negative ends. The attraction between the positive end of one molecule and the negative end of another is called a dipole-dipole interaction, so the correct choice is dipole-dipole interactions. Hydrogen bonding is a stronger, special case that occurs only when hydrogen is bonded to nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine.
