Answer:
ionize
Explanation:
Acids are chemical substances that lose/donate their hydrogen ion (H+) when they react with water. This property of acids is termed IONIZATION. In a chemical reaction involving acids and bases, acids release their proton or hydrogen ion (H+) in the presence of water solutions to form a conjugate base, which is usually an anion.
For example, in the chemical reaction;
HX + H20 -------> X- + H30+
HX is the acid because it loses its electron to water and forms the anion, X-, which is the conjugate base. Hence, it can be said that acid HX ionizes in water.
Ion-dipole forces
H2O has hydrogen bonding, which is a form of dipole-dipole forces, and NO3- is an ion, so the intermolecular attraction is ion-dipole.
