Question

In the molecule on the left, areas that have a partial negative charge are pink and areas that have a partial positive charge are blue. The molecule on the right is nonpolar. What will most likely happen when these molecules get closer? The molecules will repel each other because of a dipole-dipole interaction. The molecules will attract each other because of a dipole-dipole interaction. An induced dipole will be produced in the molecule on the right. An induced dipole will be produced in the molecule on the left.

Answer 1

Answer : Option C) An induced dipole will be produced in the molecule on the right.

Explanation : As per the given information there is a polar molecule which is placed on the left side which has partial positive charge at one end and on other end has partial negative charge which shows that it has a dipole in it. It tries to induce the non-polar molecule which is at right side. So, there will be an induce dipole interaction between both when they are placed closer to each other.

Answer 2

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. When these molecules get closer, most likely an  induced dipole will be produced in the molecule on the left. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.
