Question

Fill in the blanks using the correct option for the following statements from the given alternatives.

________ substances possess the Van der Waals attraction force.

1. Hydrogen
2. Argon
3. Carbon Dioxide
4. Carbon Monoxide

Answer 1

Correct Answer - Option 1 : Hydrogen

The correct answer is Hydrogen.

• ​Hydrogen bonding is the third type of van der Waals' force.
  • It is exactly the same as dipole-dipole interaction, it just gets a special name.
  • A hydrogen bond is a dipole-dipole interaction that occurs between any molecule with a bond between a hydrogen atom and any of oxygen/fluorine/nitrogen.

• Van der Waals force is a general term used to define the attraction of intermolecular forces between molecules.
  • There are two kinds of Van der Waals forces:
    • Weak London Dispersion Forces and stronger dipole-dipole forces.
  • Examples of van der Waals forces include hydrogen bonding, dispersion forces, and dipole-dipole interactions.
