Decide which intermolecular forces act between the molecules of each compound in the table below. intermolecular forces compound (check all that apply) dispersion dipole hydrogen-bonding hydrogen bromide carbon dioxide carbon tetrachloride hydrogen chloride
Solution
Intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction and repulsion between molecules that hold molecules, ions, and atoms together.
The London dispersion force is the weakest of the intermolecular forces.This is the force between two nonpolar molecules. The electrons of one molecule are attracted to the nucleus of the other molecule, while repelled by the other molecule's electrons. A dipole is induced when the electron clouds of the molecules are distorted by the attractive and repulsive electrostatic forces.
Dipole-dipole interaction occurs whenever two polar molecules get near each other. The positively charged portion of one molecule is attracted to the negatively charged portion of another molecule.
Hydrogen bonding -A dipole-dipole interaction where the H atom is noncovalently attracted to an electronegative atom
