Answer:
The inter molecular interactions that occur in benzyl alcohol are hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interaction and Van der Waal’s dispersion forces.
Explanation:
Benzyl alcohol has the formula [tex]C_6 H_5 OH[/tex] . a hydrogen bond is formed between a hydrogen atom and an electro negative element like fluorine, chlorine, oxygen etc.
Benzyl alcohol has a lone pair of oxygen atom which is electro negative. Thus this lone pair bonds with the hydrogen of other benzyl alcohol molecules.
Since [tex]C_6 H_5 OH[/tex] is a polar molecule it has a positive and negative end. Interaction between these ends of opposite polarity is dipole-dipole interaction.
