Question

Determine which intermolecular forces are the dominant (strongest) forces for a pure sample of each of the following molecules by placing the molecules into the correct bins.
Dispersion Forces; Dipole-Dipole Forces; Hydrogen Bonding Forces
Kr, H2O, CHCI3, HF, C2H6, HBr

Answer 1

Answer:

Kr- Dispersion Forces

H2O- Hydrogen Bonding

CHCI3- Dipole-Dipole Forces

HF- Hydrogen Bonding

C2H6- Dispersion Forces

HBr- Hydrogen Bonding Forces

Explanation:

Dispersion forces occurs in all substances. They are the dominant intermolecular interaction in all non polar substances such as C2H6 and Kr.

Hydrogen bonding occurs when hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative atom such as Cl, Br, O etc. It is the dominant intermolecular interaction in HF, HBr and H2O.

Dipole-Dipole interactions occur when a permanent dipole exists in a molecule such as in CHCI3
