Question

What type(s) of intermolecular forces are expected between ch3ch2ch2ch2ch2oh molecules?

Answer 1

Answer : Hydrogen-bonding, Dipole-dipole attraction and London-dispersion force.

Explanation :

The given molecule is, $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2OH$

Three types of inter-molecular forces are present in this molecule which are Hydrogen-bonding, Dipole-dipole attraction and London-dispersion force.

• Hydrogen-bonding : when the partial positive end of hydrogen is bonded with the partial negative end of another molecule like, oxygen, nitrogen, etc.

• Dipole-dipole attraction : When the partial positively charged part of the molecule is interact with the partial negatively charged part of the molecule. For example : In case of HCl.

• London-dispersion force : This force is present in all type of molecule whether it is a polar or non-polar, ionic or covalent. For example : In case of Br-Br , F-F, etc

Hydrogen-bonding is present between the oxygen and hydrogen molecule.

Dipole-dipole forces is present between the carbon and oxygen molecule.

London-dispersion forces is present between the carbon and carbon molecule.
