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.
