I WILL GIVE BRAINLIEST TO THE RIGHT ANSWER

Which of the following substances would have the strongest
intermolecular forces of attraction present? *

A) HF (Hydrogen Fluoride)
B) HCI (Hydrogen Chloride)
C) HBr (Hydrogen Bromide)
D) HI (Hidrogen lodide)


Sagot :

Answer:

A) HF (Hydrofluoric acid)

Explanation:

dw I gotchu. So first off there are three types of intermolecular forces of attraction: 1) London-Dispersion, 2) Dipole-Dipole, 3) Hydrogen-Bonding Attraction Forces. That is also ranked in increasing strength, with Hydrogen-Bonding Attraction Forces being the strongest. Every molecule has London-Dispersion forces present and all the diatomic molecules listed have dipole moments of a certain debye (or Coloumb-meter) value. Both are irrelevant here so dw about that. Lets look at the strongest attraction: the hydrogen-bonding one. Now, don't get confused bc all of these acids are bonded to H bc hydrogen-bonding attraction forces only occur when H is bonded to N, O, or F. So Process of Elimination, hydrofluoric acid (HF) has the strongest intermolecular forces of attraction.

Note: If you don't know what inter/intra molecular forces of attraction are, ill give u a quick summary. Intermolecular refers to electrostatic attractions between molecules while intramolecular refers to the actual bonds, single, double, or triple, binding the atoms together. Well there you have it, have a great day. :)
