What role does the molecular interaction play in solution of alcohol and water?

Answer»

There is strong hydrogen bonding in alcohol molecules as well as water molecules. The intermolecular forces both in alcohol and water are H-bonds. 

When alcohol and water are mixed, they form solution because of formation of H-bonds between alcohol and H2O molecules hut these interactions are weaker and less extensive than those in pure water. 

Hence, they show positive deviation from ideal behaviour.
