Isn't it nitrogen AND chlorine? Both are nonmetals, and they need to gain electrons in order to bond.
When two atoms are bonded together, the atom that is LEAST likely to attract electrons to itself is
the atom with the smallest electronegativity
B___________________________________________
At 50 degrees Celsius and standard pressure inter-molecular forces of attraction are strongest in a sample of ethanoic acid.
Ethanoic acid has hydrogen atom bonded with a more electronegative atom; Oxygen. As a result, the molecule possesses strong intermolecular Hydrogen Bonds. Therefore; ethanoic acid, and all other carboxyllic acids have the tendency to form dimers.
