What type of inter molecular force is present between magnesium chloride and water?

Options

  1. ADipole-dipole interaction
  2. BIon-dipole interaction
  3. CDipole-induced dipole interaction
  4. DHydrogen bonding

Correct answer

B. Ion-dipole interaction

Step-by-step solution

Ion-dipole interaction Between magnesium chloride and water, there is an ion-dipole interaction. This contact is caused by polar water molecules interacting with a magnesium ion. The water molecule's oxygen atom contains a tiny negative charge, which attracts the positively charged magnesium ion. These are substantially weaker forces than covalent or ionic bonding.
