The intermolecular forces present in CH₃NH₂ include which of the following I. dipole-dipole II. ion-dipole III. dispersion IV. hydrogen bonding A) I, II, III, and IV B) I and III C) I, III, and IV D) I and II E) II and IV

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The compound CH₃NH₂ contains polar bonds due to the difference in electronegativity between nitrogen and sulfur with the other atoms. Thus, it exhibits dipole-dipole interactions. There is no presence of any ions, so there is no ion-dipole interaction. Dispersion forces are present in all molecules due to the fluctuations of the electron density, and this compound also has dispersion forces. Additionally, the molecule has a hydrogen bond between the nitrogen and sulfur atoms, so hydrogen bonding is also present. Hence, the correct answer is C) I, III, and IV.
