Question

Are dipole-dipole forces stronger in acetone or octane?

Answer 1

acetone is polar molecule but octane is non-polar.therefore there is no dipole -dipole force in octane

Answer 2

i meant dispersion.

Answer 3

london dispersion forces would be stronger in octane due to the fact it's non-polar

Answer 4

The dispersion forces in octane are greater, but that's because it has a higher polarizability, in this case, simply because it has more valence electrons.
