Question

Comparing the energies of the following intermolecular forces on a kJ/mol basis, which would normally have the highest energy (i.e., be the strongest force)?
A) ion-induced dipole

B) dipole-induced dipole

C) ion-dipole

D) dipole-dipole

E) dispersion

Answer 1

Answer: option C, ion-dipole

Explanation:

Since the order of intermolecular forces is as follows

Ion-dipole > Hydrogen bonding> Dipole-dipole> dipole -induced dipole> ion induced dipole> dispersion forces
