Explanation:
The weak intermolecular forces which can arise either between nucleus and electrons or between electron-electron are known as dispersion forces. These forces are also known as London dispersion forces and these are temporary in nature.
Dipole-dipole interactions are defined as the interactions that occur when partial positive charge on an atom is attracted by partial negative charge on another atom.
When a polar molecules produces a dipole on a non-polar molecule through distribution of electrons then it is known as dipole-induced forces.
Hydrogen bonding is defined as a bonding which exists between a hydrogen atom and an electronegative atom like O, N and F.
Chemical formula of acetone is . Due to the presence of oxygen atom there will be partial positive charge on carbon and a partial negative charge on oxygen atom. Hence, dipole-dipole forces will exist in a molecule of acetone.
Whereas hydrogen bonding will exist in a molecule of ethanol (). Since, hydrogen atom is attached with electronegative oxygen atom.
Whereas London dispersion forces will also exist in both acetone and ethanol molecule.
The number of hours required : 37.2 hours
<h3>Further explanation</h3>Given
⁴²K (potassium -42)
Required
The number of hours
Solution
The atomic nucleus can experience decay into 2 particles or more due to the instability of its atomic nucleus.
Usually, radioactive elements have an unstable atomic nucleus.
Based on Table N(attached), the half-life for ⁴²K is 12.4 hours, which means half of a sample of ⁴²K will decay in 12.4 hours
For three half-life periods :
