Concept explainers
Interpretation: Among below molecules, molecules that are capable of hydrogen bonding to them should be determined.
Concept introduction: Intermolecular forces are types of forces that are responsible to hold atoms together in molecule. There are various types of intermolecular forces as follows:
1. Hydrogen bonding:
As is evident from its name, these types of forces exist if hydrogen is present. Such forces are present when hydrogen atom bonds with highly electronegative elements like
2. Ion-dipole forces:
This force exists between ion and molecules with dipole moment in them. Attraction exists between ion and oppositely charged end of dipole.
3. Ion-induced dipole forces:
When an ion approaches non-polar molecule, it induces temporary dipole in it. Ion gets attracted towards oppositely charged part of dipole induced in molecule.
4. Dispersion forces:
These forces are also known as induced dipole-induced dipole or van der Waals forces. Such forces are present between various atoms and molecules. These are observed generally in non-polar molecules, halogens, and noble gases.
