Answer:

ion-dipole interaction

Step-by-step explanation:

Ethanol is a polar molecule due to the presence of the polar O-H group in the molecule. This means that the molecule has a dipole moment.

The positive end of the dipole lies on hydrogen while the negative end of the dipole lies on oxygen.

When KCl is dissolved in ethanol, K^+ ions can interact with the negative end of the dipole in ethanol by ion-dipole interaction.
