Dimerisation of solute molecules in low dielectric constant solvent is due to
Options
- Ahydrogen bond
- Bcovaelent bond
- Cco-ordinate bond
- Dionic bond
Correct answer
A. hydrogen bond
Step-by-step solution
Dimerisation of solute molecules in low dielectric constant solvent is primarily due to intermolecular interactions such as van der Waals' forces and hydrogen bonding. These forces allow the solute molecules to overcome the electrostatic repulsion and form stable dimers.
