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.
