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).

Answer»

(i) Both are non-polar. Hence, inter molecular interactions in them will be London/ dispersion forces.

(ii) Both are non-polar. Hence, inter molecular interactions in them will be London/ dispersion forces.

(iii) NaClO4 gives Na+ and ClO4 - ions in the solution while water is polar molecule. Hence, intermolecular interactions in them will be ion – dipole interactions. 

(iv) Both are polar molecules. Hence intermolecular interactions in them will be dipole-dipole interactions. 

(v) Both are polar molecules. Hence intermolecular interactions in them will be dipole-dipole interactions.
