Several methanol (CH3OH) dimers are drawn below, and several proposed intermolecular bonding interactions are highlighted in gre
en. If a highlighted interaction is a valid hydrogen bond, leave it unaltered. If the interaction is not a valid hydrogen bond, delete the green bond to yield two non-interacting alcohol molecules. If needed, the module may be restored to its original state by clicking on the red over-under arrows.

Answer:
See figure attached
Explanation:
In the figure attached, the methanol dimers are shown. The correct intermolecular bonding interactions are circled in red. These interactions are hydrogen bonds, which consists of a bond between an hydrogen atom and a strongly electronegative atom like oxygen.
In the other options there is no interaction because the atoms involved have the same polar characteristic, that is, two hydrogen or oxygen atoms don't attract to themselves.
Answer:
Posible dimers structures: B) and D) (Figure 1)
Explanation:
The correct <u>dimer structures</u> are the ones that have a right <u>intermolecular bonding</u> interacction. In this case we will have hydrogen bonding. This type of interaction is due to the negative polarization in the oxygen and the positive polarization in the hydrogen. (Figure 2)
So, a correct dimer structure is posible if we have an interaction from the negative part (oxygen) to the positive part (hydrogen). The only structures that have this type of interactions are B and D.

The way you calculate the empirical formula is to firstly assume 100g. To find each elements moles you take each elements percentage listed, times it by one mole and divide it by its atomic mass. (ex: moles of K =55.3g x 1 mole/39.1g, therefore there is 1.41432225 moles of Potassium) Once you’ve completed this for every element you list each elements symbol beside it’s number of moles and divide by the smallest number because it can only go into its self once. After you’ve done this, you’ve found your empirical formula, which is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound. I’ve added an example of a empirical question I completed last semester :)
