Question

thanks

Answer 1

ions are not exactly the same thing as dipoles (ions are atoms/polyatoms with a net charge, dipoles are created by a large EN diff. between bonded atoms)

B, therefore is most likely a dipole-dipole interaction. C, with the "H bonded to F, O, and N" is a huge indicator of hydrogen-bonding

Answer 2

Sorry I meant dipole-dipole interaction..... like I thought dipole-dipole interaction which involved ions... B doesn't have any ions present.

Answer 3

nah, H2O interacting with H2O is considered a dipole-dipole because H2O is polar, even though it's not ionic

Answer 4

basically try to think of ions and dipoles as separate ideas

Answer 5

Ahh okay makes sense. What about bonds? how can I figure that out?

Answer 6

dipoles are molecules w/ polar covalent bonds, since both B and C have dipoles I'd say polar covalent

with C you have hydrogen-bonding although they aren't classified as polar covalent bonds

Answer 7

idk how pedantic your teacher is, "hydrogen bond" may be acceptable

Answer 8

No thats fine! I just wanted to make sure I understood it very well rather than mindlessly taking answers. Thanks! you have helped a lot!
