Question

Classify each substance based on the intermolecular forces present in that substance.A. H2OB. CH4C. CO D. CH3Cl1. Hydrogen bonding, dipole dipole, and dispersion2. Dipole dipole and dispersion only 3. Dispersion only

Answer 1

Answer:

H2O - Hydrogen bonding, dipole dipole, and dispersion

CH4 - Dispersion only

CO - Dipole dipole and dispersion only

CH3Cl - Dipole dipole and dispersion only

Explanation:

Hydrogen bonding can only exist when hydrogen is bonded to a small highly electronegative atom such as oxygen hence hydrogen bonds, dipole interactions and dispersion by are present in water.

CH4 is a nonpolar molecule hence only dispersion forces are present.

CH3Cl and CO both possess dipoles in the molecule hence both dipole interactions and dispersion forces exist in the molecule.
