Question

Determine which intermolecular forces are the dominant (strongest) forces for a pure sample of each of the following molecules by placing the molecules into the correct bins. Drag the appropriate molecular formula to their respective bins.
HBr, Xe, CHCl3, NH3, CH3COOH, CH4 Dispersion forces Dipole-dipole forces Hydrogen bonding forces

Answer 1

Answer:

Dispersion forces- Xe, CH4

Dipole-dipole forces-CHCl3

Hydrogen Bonding-HBr, NH3, CH3COOH

Explanation:

Gases and nonpolar molecules posses only dispersion forces. Polar covalent compounds posses dipole- dipole forces. When hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative atom, hydrogen bonding results. These account for the arrangement of answers above.
