Question

Will Ammonia (NH3) have hydrogen bonding and dipole-dipole interactions? Or just hydrogen bonding? Why?

Answer 1

First of all,
hydrogen bonding is a type of dipole-dipole interaction where the dipole-dipole interaction
is between a hydrogen and either a fluorine atom, an oxygen atom or a nitrogen atom....
ammonia contains hydrogen and nitrogen....this simply means it has hydrogen bonding between its molecules..

Answer 2

have you understood what i have written??

Answer 3

So, where you have OH/FH/NH bonds, there will only be Hydrogen bonding and NO DIPOLE-DIPOLE interactions?

Answer 4

it is a dipole-dipole interaction but specifically called hydrogen bonding because the dipole-dipole interaction is between OH/FH/NH..

Answer 5

have i answered your question partially or fully??

Answer 6

Hmm...when asked: What are the intermolecular forces in NH3 and C2H5OH, we only write hydrogen bonding and dispersion forces, right?

Answer 7

in ammonia i would say only hydrogen bonding is present but in ethanol since other elements are present you could say hydrogen bonding and dispersion forces if the other elements have dipoles...

Answer 8

Okay thanks a lot.
