Question

Following vanderwaal forces are present in ethyl acetate liquid
a) H–bond, London forces b) dipole–dipole interation, H–bond
c) dipole–dipole interation, London forces d) H–bond, dipole–dipole interation, London forces not

Answer 1

The correct answer is c (i:e) Dipole-Dipole interaction and London forces.

• The predominant intermolecular forces present in ethyl acetate liquid are London dispersion and dipole-dipole interaction.
•  Ethyl acetate is a polar molecule, therefore, dipole-dipole interaction will be present there.
