Determine the kinds of intermolecular forces that are present in each element or compound: H2S, N2O, C2H5OH, S8
Answer:
H2S: both dipole-dipole forces and dispersion forces
N2O: both dispersion forces and dipole-dipole forces
C2H5OH: all three are present i.e dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces and hydrogen bonding.
S8: dispersion forces only
Step-by-step explanation:
Dipole-Dipole forces: They are a type of intermolecular interaction that are formed between the positive end of one polar molecule and a negative end of another molecule.
London dispersion forces: or dispersion force is the weakest type of intermolecular force.It is formed when the electrons in two adjacent atoms occupy positions that make the atoms form temporary dipoles.
Hydrogen bonding: it is an attractive force that is formed between a hydrogen atom and a very electronegative atom such as nitrogen,oxygen or fluorine.
