Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Which of the following is the predominant intermolecular force in water?
A
Hydrogen bonding
B
Ion-dipole interactions
C
Ion-dipole interactions
D
All of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The most significant intermolecular force for this substance would be dispersion forces. This molecule has an H atom bonded to an O atom, so it will experience hydrogen bonding.

Detailed explanation-2: -Hydrogen Bonding. Hydrogen bonding is the strongest type of Intermolecular forces of attraction.

Detailed explanation-3: -H2O molecules attract each other through the special type of dipole-dipole interaction known as hydrogen bonding.

Detailed explanation-4: -From all the mentioned types of intermolecular forces present in water, the strongest is hydrogen bonding. It is the strongest intermolecular force of attraction if it will be compared to dipole-dipole and London Dispersion Force.
