Question

Which of the following intermolecular forces plays a pivotal role in the unique properties of water? A. dipole-dipole force. . B. ion-dipole force. . C. hydrogen bonding. . D. dispersion force. . C. hydrogen bonding

Answer 1

Correct answer choice is :

C) Hydrogen bonding

Step-by-step explanation:

A hydrogen bond is a partly electrostatic tendency in a hydrogen which is bound to a more electronegative atom such as nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine, and another nearby atom having a lone pair of electrons. Hydrogen bonds can happen within molecules or within various parts of a single molecule. Depending on the nature of the giver and acceptor atoms which compose the bond, their geometry, and atmosphere, the energy of a hydrogen bond can differ between 1 and 40 kcal/mol.

Answer 2

The inter-molecular force that plays a pivotal role in the unique properties of water is called a hydrogen bond. This is due to the structure of water.
