Question

What kind of intermolecular forces act between a dichlorine monoxide molecule and a nitrogen trichloride molecule?

Note: If there is more than one type of intermolecular force that acts, be sure to list them all, with a comma between the name of each force.

Answer 1

Ans :

Dipole-dipole interaction, Diple -Induced Dipole interaction, and Van der Waals forces

Explanation:

Intermolecular forces can be attractive or repulsive.

There will be many intermolecular interactions can occur between the molecules Dichlorine monoxide and nitrogen trichloride.

These two molecules are polar molecules and have permanent dipole moments.

Polar nature of the molecule arises from the difference in the electronegativity of the atoms in the molecule.

In Dichlorine monoxide, Cl and O have different electronegativity and the molecule is polar. Similarly, nitrogen trichloride has also polar nature.

Permanent dipole moments of the two molecules are 9expressed in Debye units)

Dichlorine monoxide =>  0.78 ± 0.08 D

Nitrogen trichloride => 0.6 D

So the dipole-dipole interaction will be there

The second interaction is diple -induced dipole interaction this is the result of the polar nature of the two molecules.

The next interaction is the Van der Waals forces between the molecules.

So the interactions between the molecules Dichlorine monoxide and nitrogen trichloride are :

Dipole-dipole interaction, Diple -Induced Dipole interaction, and Van der Waals forces
