Question

13 multiple choice 2 points what intermolecular forces are present among molecules in dimethyl ether, ch₃och₃? london forces only both london dispersion forces and dipole-dipole forces hydrogen bonding only both london dispersion forces and hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

Dimethyl ether (\(CH_3OCH_3\)) is a polar molecule (due to the electronegativity difference between O and C), so it has dipole - dipole forces. Also, all molecules have London dispersion forces (due to temporary electron cloud distortions). It lacks H - bonding (needs H bonded to N, O, or F, here H is bonded to C). So it has both London dispersion and dipole - dipole forces.

Answer:

both London dispersion forces and dipole - dipole forces
