What is the strongest intermolecular force that occurs between methane (CH4) and ammonia (NH3)? A. Dipole-induced dipole attractions B. Hydrogen bond C. London dispersion forces D. Dipole-dipole forces Is that answer c?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I was originally thinking C but I know ammonia is polar so it could be B.

OpenStudy (ookawaiioo):

Its not B, or C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Could you please explain

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I now that ammonia has hydrogen bonding and dipole-dipole interaction while methane only has london dispersion forces

OpenStudy (ookawaiioo):

Methane is slight polar since Carbon is more electronegative than Hydrogen.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No it is not Hydrogen surrounds the carbon atoms so it don't not have a positive and negative end

OpenStudy (ookawaiioo):

Its a very weak though. Not really polar......

OpenStudy (ookawaiioo):

So its non-polar.

OpenStudy (ookawaiioo):

So it is C. Happy? MAN....so hard to please people

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so how do methane (CH4) and ammonia (NH3) interact

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you just saying C or do you believe it is C

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The answer was A

OpenStudy (ookawaiioo):

SEE DIPOLE!!! I knew it!
