What type of intermolecular forces exist between N H 3 and C 6 H 6 ?
Options
- ADispersion forces
- BDipole-dipole forces
- CDipole-induced dipole forces and dispersion forces
- DDispersion and dipole-dipole forces
Correct answer
C. Dipole-induced dipole forces and dispersion forces
Step-by-step solution
N H 3 is polar and C 6 H 6 is non-polar. N H 3 molecule, being a dipole, induces a dipole in the non-polar C 6 H 6 molecule. Dipole-induced dipole forces exist among the molecule of N H 3 and C 6 H 6 . Since dispersion forces exist among species of any type, therefore, dispersion forces also exist. Hence, forces are dipole-induced dipole force and dispersion forces.
