With what compound will NH3 experience only ion-dipole intermolecular forces?

- NaCl

- C2H5OH

- SiO2

- OCl2

- CH3I

Expert Solution
Step 1

Intermolecular forces are defined as the forces that mediate the interaction between molecules, including forces of attraction or repulsion which act between atoms and other types of neighboring particles.

Ion-dipole intermolecular forces: An ion-dipole force is an attractive force that results from the electrostatic interaction between an ion and a neutral molecule that has a dipole. These are mostly found in solution.

  • A positive ion (cation) attracts the partially negative end of a neutral polar molecule.
  • A negative ion (anion) attracts the partially positive end of a neutral polar molecule.
  • Ion-dipole attractions become stronger as either the charge on the ion increases or as the magnitude of the dipole of the polar molecule increases.
