Question

What is the strongest intermolecular force for each pair of molecules? a) CH3CO2H and C2H5OH b) Benzene and Hexane c) CH3OCH3 and HCN d) Dichloromethane and water e) Naphthalene and water

Answer 1

(as CALCOH and C2H GOH = Hydrogen Bonding Because both are capable of hydrogen bonding forces Benzene and Hexane = Dispersion because both are non-polar (c) forces CH₂O CH3 and HON because both are : sipole polar : Dipole forces sichoomethane and water because both are polar e) Naptér alene & water Dipole - induced forces Naphthalene is nonpolar & water is polar. in water can polarize the election cloud of naphthalene.
