Which molecule will undergo only London dispersion forces when interacting with other molecules of the same kind? a.HCl b.C2H5OH

c.NH3 d.CH4
Chemistry

Answer:

CH4

Explanation:

London dispersion forces are a type of force acting between atoms and molecules that are normally electrically symmetric; that is, the electrons are symmetrically distributed with respect to the nucleus. They are part of the van der Waals forces(Wikipedia).  It is a temporary attractive force that results when the electrons in two adjacent atoms occupy positions that make the atoms form temporary dipoles. This force is sometimes called an induced dipole-induced dipole attraction(Chem Purdue).

If we consider HCl, C2H5OH  and NH3, we will discover that they all have polar bonds. Consequently, dipole - dipole interaction as well as hydrogen bonds exist between their molecules.

CH4 is nonpolar. Being a nonpolar molecule, the only possible intermolecular interaction forces between its molecules is the London dispersion forces.

nata0808 [166]
Answer:
            Ethyl alcohol is soluble in water because <span>ethyl alcohol exhibits dipole-dipole and h-bonding interactions with water.

Explanation:
                   Ethyl alcohol and water are miscible in each other because both are polar in nature and "Like dissolves Like".
                   The bond between oxygen and hydrogen atoms, both in alcohol and water are polar in nature and results in intermolecular hydrogen bond interactions between them as hydrogen bonding results when hydrogen atom in one molecule directly attached to highly electronegative atoms like fluorine, oxygen and nitrogen forms interaction with higly electronegative atom of neighbor atom.</span>
