Question : 23
Total: 53
Suggest the most important type of intermolecular attractive interaction in the following pairs.
(i) n-Hexane and n-octane
(ii) I2 and CCl4
(iii) NaClO4 and water
(iv) Methanol and acetone
(v) Acetonitrile (CH3CN) and acetone (C3H6O).
Solution:  
(i) n-Hexane and n-octane : London dispersion forces as both themolecules are non-polar.
(ii) I2 and CCl4 : London dispersion forces as both the molecules are non-polar.
(iii) NaClO4 and water : Ion-dipole interactions as NaClO4 in water givesNa+and ClO4 Ions. These ions interact with polar water molecules.
(iv) Methanol and acetone : Dipole-dipole interactions as both themolecules are polar.
(v) Acetonitrile and acetone : Dipole-dipole interactions as both themolecules are polar.
