Question

Which of the following is not correctly matched with respect to the intermolecular forces existing amongst the molecules (Hydrogen bonding is not taken as dipole-dipole attraction)?

• A. Benzene-Lodon dispresion forces
• B. Orthophosphoric acid-London dispresion force, hydrogen bonding
• C. Hydrochloric acid- London dispersion force, dipole-dipole attraction
• D. Iodine monochloride-London dispersion force

Answer 1

The correct option is D Iodine monochloride-London dispersion force

Iodine monochloride has dipole-dipole interactions because the electrons in the molecule is shared unevenly between chlorine and iodine due to the difference in electronegativity.
