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?

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.

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
