Question

Refer to your properly drawn Lewis Dot structure to determine the intermolecular force(s) present

in a pure sample of the following compound: H2O
a. Dipole Dipole Attractions
b. lon-Dipole Attractions
c. London Dispersion Forces (LDP)
d. Ion-ion Attractions
e. Hydrogen Bonding

Answer 1

The intermolecular force present in a pure sample of water (H2O) is hydrogen bonding.

Step-by-step explanation:

In a pure sample of H2O (water), the intermolecular force present is hydrogen bonding. Hydrogen bonding occurs when a hydrogen atom is bonded to one of the highly electronegative atoms like oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine. In water, the hydrogen atoms are bonded to the oxygen atom, resulting in strong dipole-dipole interactions.
