Question

What types of intermolecular forces exist in a sample of acetone? (LO 8.8)

(a) Dispersion forces (b) Dispersion forces and dipole–dipole forces (c) Dipole–dipole forces (d) Dispersion forces, dipole–dipole forces, and hydrogen bonding

Accepted Answer

Hey everyone were asked to choose all the inter molecular forces found in ethanol OIC acid first. Let's go down our list Here we have hydrogen bonding. This is actually present in economic acid and that's because we have our hydrogen bonded to an electro negative elements such as oxygen. So if it's bonded to flooring oxygen or nitrogen then we have hydrogen bonding present. And as we can see right here we have oxygen bonded to hydrogen. Next looking at our dipole dipole interaction, we have this inter molecular force present as well and that's because the electro negativity difference between carbon and oxygen Is 1.0, so our carbon oxygen bond is polar. So that means we do have dipole dipole interaction present. Next looking at dispersion forces, this is present in all compounds. So we also have dispersion forces present in economic acid. Next looking at ion dipole interaction, ion dipole interaction occurs between an ion and a polar Covalin compound. So this isn't present in ethanol like acid. Next looking at induced dipole interaction. This occurs when a non polar compound interacts with a polar compound. Again, this is not present in economic acid. So looking at our answer choices, it looks like answer choice B is going to be our answer. Now, I hope that made sense. And let us know if you have any questions
