The main type of intermolecular forces between particles of ammonia (NH3)are ________.
A)ionic bonds
B)hydrogen bonds
C)polar covalent
D)dipole-dipole attractions
E)dispersion forces

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Ammonia (NH3) is a polar molecule with a partial negative charge on its nitrogen atom and partial positive charges on its hydrogen atoms. This polar nature allows for strong hydrogen bonding between ammonia molecules, making option B the correct answer. Option A and C are incorrect as ammonia does not contain any ionic or purely covalent bonds. Option D is incorrect as it refers to interactions between dipoles of different molecules, while option E is incorrect as the London dispersion forces are typically weak and not significant in polar molecules such as ammonia.
