Which of the following compounds is capable of dipole-dipole interactions? A) CH₄ B) CO₂ C) H₂CO D) SF₆ E) NH₄⁺

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This compound, H₂CO, has a polar covalent bond between the hydrogen and sulfur atoms, creating a dipole moment. It also has a polar covalent bond between the sulfur and oxygen atoms, creating another dipole moment. These two dipoles can interact with each other through dipole-dipole interactions. The other compounds do not have polar covalent bonds and therefore cannot experience dipole-dipole interactions.
