Question

What is the strongest type of intermolecular force between solute and solvent in each solution? (a) Cu(s) in Ag(s) (b) CH3Cl(g) in CH3OCH3(g) (c) CH3CH3(g) in CH3CH2CH2NH2(l)
Please explain how you figure it out!

Answer 1

First of all, NO, Ionic bonds are not the same as ion - dipole

there are bonds and there are forces

bonds are WAY stronger than forces

for covalent compounds

H-bonding > dipole - dipole > london disperson forces

H-bonding : occurs between polar molecules that contain a O-H , N-H or F-H bond

dipole - dipole : occurs between "regular" polar molecules

london disperson forces: occur between all covalent molecules but is the only IMF for nonpolar molecules
