Which pair of molecules can form a hydrogen bond?
a) HCN, HCl
b) CH4, NH3
c) CO2, H2S
d) NH3, H2O
Which of the following molecules would you predict to have the weakest intermolecular force of attraction: water, isopropanol, pentane, or acetone?
a) acetone
b) water
c) isopropanol
d) pentane
Q1. which pair of molecules can form a hydrogen bond? (d) NH3 , H2O
Q2. weakest intermolecular force of attraction? (d) pentane
Explanation
Q1. Only 3 atoms in the whole periodic table can form hydrogen bonds. These are nitrogen (N) , oxygen (O) and fluorine (F). When a hydrogen atom is directly attached to these atoms, then the bond is known as hydrogen bond.
Q2. Pentane is pure hydrocarbon compound which has only London dispersion intermolecular force of attraction which is the weakest intermolecular force of attraction. Other three remaining compounds have forces of attraction that are stronger than London dispersion forces
