![### Question 8
**Which interactions are involved in freezing water?**
- Dispersion-Dispersion
- Hydrophobic
- Ion-Ion
- Ion-Dipole
- Dipole-Dispersion
- Ion-Dispersion
- Dipole-Dipole
**Explanation:**
This question asks you to identify the types of interactions responsible for the process of freezing water. Understanding molecular interactions can help explain how water molecules organize themselves as they transition from the liquid to the solid phase. Consider what occurs at a molecular level, such as hydrogen bonding, which is crucial in the structure of ice.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F72a720b9-38b2-4beb-ae1b-56a99a6fccf3%2F348aef69-4d93-4dc7-800c-0a5b6ac385ef%2F5h7srsq_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)

Intermolecular forces of interactions are weak force of attraction exist among the molecules/ions of a substance.
Different types of intermolecular forces in order of the weakest to strongest are:
London dispersion force(LDF) < dipole-dipole interaction < Hydrogen bonding < Ion-dipole interaction.
London dispersion force(LDF) or simply dispersion force is found among non-polar molecules like CH4, CCl4, SF6 etc.
dipole-dipole interaction is found among polar molecules like H2O, NH3, SO2 etc.
Hydrogen bonding is found among polar molecules having at least one O-H, or N-H or F-H bonding e.g. H2O
Ion-dipole interaction is the interaction between ionic substances line Na+(aq), Cl-(aq) etc. and polar molecules like H2O.
