Solution

Intermolecular force:

  1. The force of attraction and repulsion in between the particles is called intermolecular force.
  2. The interactions that include magnitude are dispersion or London forces, dipole-dipole force, and dipole-induced dipole forces.

Strongest Methanol intermolecular force:

  1. There are mainly three types of intermolecular forces present in the Methanol which are Hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interaction, and London dispersion interaction.
  2. The strongest intermolecular force in the Methanol is Hydrogen bonding.
  3. The electropositive Hydrogen atom is attracted to an electronegative Oxygen atom.
  4. The intermolecular structure of Methanol is presented below:
