Question

What type(s) of intermolecular forces exist between two molecules of hexane? (BLB Ch. 11)

Answer 1

Answer:

induced dipole-dipole forces or London Dispersion forces / van der Waals forces.

Explanation:

Hexane is non-polar in nature. This is due to :

The bond in the molecule is C-H, which is non-polar in nature because the carbon and the hydrogen having very similar electronegativity values.

Hexane is also symmetric.

The intermolecular force acting in the molecule of the hexane are induced the dipole-dipole forces or London Dispersion forces / van der Waals forces.
