For C 3H 8, a covalent compound, which intermolecular force is the most important? ionic forces dipole dipole attraction dispersion forces hydrogen bonding
Intermolecular force is responsible for different physical state, boiling point, melting point, solubility of compounds.
It is mainly of 6 types.
A. Ionic force : it exist in ionic compound.
B. Ion-dipole interaction : it exist between one ion and a molecule having a net dipole moment.
C. H-bonding : it occurs between two (inter-molecular H-bonding) or, one (intramolecular H-bonding) molecule having OH/NH/F/NH2 group.
D. Dipole-dipole interaction : it exist between two molecules having a net dipole moment.
E. Dipole-induced dipole : it exist between molecules one having no net dipole moment and one having dipole moment.
F. London dispersion force : it exist in molecule having no net dipole moment.
