**Question:**Answer the following about drawing the attractive force between a water molecule (H\(_2\)O) and an ammonium ion (NH\(_4^+\)). The strongest attraction between the two molecules is:- A. London’s- B. dipole-dipole- C. hydrogen bond- D. ion-dipole**Explanation:**This question addresses the type of intermolecular force that acts between a water molecule and an ammonium ion. The options provided include various types of intermolecular forces, each with different properties and strengths. Understanding these distinctions is essential for predicting molecular interactions and behavior in solutions.

London dispersion forces are the weak forces created by temporary dipoles in molecules. Dipole-dipole forces are the comparatively weak forces created in polar-polar molecules. Hydrogen bond are the strongest forces formed between H and most electronegative atoms ( N,F or O). Ion - dipole is the force created between an ion and a polar molecule. These are comparatively stronger forces. Here ammonium ion and water is given. Hence forces present will be ion-dipole forces which are even stronger than H-bonding. Water is polar molecule here. It forms bonding with ammonium ion. Hence answer is D (ion dipole forces)
