Question

What is the predominant intermolecular force in the liquid state of each of these compounds: water (H2O), carbon tetrabromide (CBr4), and dichloromethane (CH2Cl2)? Drag the appropriate items to their respective bins. View Available Hint(s) ResetHelp Dipole-dipole forces Hydrogen bonding Dispersion forces

Answer 1

Explanation:

• Water -

It shows , Hydrogen bonding , Since ,

The molecule of water have a strong electronegative atom of oxygen and a hydrogen atom ,

So , the electronegative oxygen atom can interact with the other hydrogen atom of the other water molecule .

• Carbon tetrabromide -

The molecule of Carbon tetrabromide have polar bonds of carbon and bromine atom , but overall the molecule is non - polar in nature , due to its tetraderal structure , hence ,

the molecule shows only dispersion forces .

• dichloromethane -

The molecule of dichloromethane has Dipole Dipole forces due to difference in electronegativity between atoms .
