Which type of intermolecular attractive force operates between (part A) all molecules, (part B) polar molecules, (part C) the hy
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

PART A: The LDF occurs between all molecules. Dispersion forces result from shifting electron clouds, which cause weak, temporary dipole.

PART B: Dipole dipole operates only between polar molecules. This is when two polar molecules get near each other and the positively charged portion of the molecule is attracted to the negatively charged portion of another molecule.

PART C: Dipole dipole and in some cases hydrogen bonding operate between the hydrogen atom of a polar bond and a nearby small electronegative atom. Only if the atom bonded to it were F, O or N it would be hydrogen bonding. Otherwise it is dipole dipole.
