Question

1.) A larger dipole will create a stronger intermolecular interaction

2.) If the dipole is sufficiently large, dispersion forces can be neglected

3.) Polar molecules that form dipole-dipole bonds will always have stronger intermolecular networks than non-polar compounds that form dispersion forces only.

Which statement or statements, if any, are true?

Expert Solution
Step 1

1.) The first statement is true. Large magnitude dipole causes stronger attractions. The strength of the interactions depend on the distance between ion and the polar molecule. The farther the ions and the molecules, the weaker is the intermolecular force and vice versa. Higher charge ion makes the attraction stronger.
