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.

What is the IUPAC name of a bromobenzene with carboxylic acid attached

LuckyWell [14K]

Answer:

Bromobenzoic acid

Explanation:

COOH has higher priority than Br, so the parent name is benzoic acid.

The COOH group is automatically on C1 of the ring, and the other aromatic carbons are numbered sequentially around the ring.

The name of the substituent is joined to that of the parent, and the locant is attached to that with a hyphen.

The generic IUPAC name is bromobenzoic acid.

There are three isomers of benzoic acid — 2-bromobenzoic acid, 3-bromobenzoic acid, and 4-bromobenzoic acid — so you must always specify which one you mean.
