Indicate all the types of intermolecular forces of attraction in HF(l).
A) Dispersion and Dipole-dipole
B) Dipole-dipole and Ionic
C) Ion-dipole and Hydrogen bonding
D) Hydrogen bonding and Dispersion
E) Dispersion

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

HF has a hydrogen bond between the hydrogen of one molecule and the fluorine of another. This is the strongest type of intermolecular force. Additionally, there are dispersion forces present due to the temporary dipoles that occur as a result of the movement of electrons. Therefore, the best choice would be D (Hydrogen bonding and Dispersion).
