Question
what kind of intermolecular forces act between a water molecule and a chloride anion? note: if there is more than one type of intermolecular force that acts, be sure to list them all, with a comma between the name of each force.
Water is a polar molecule and chloride anion is negatively - charged. The polar water molecule has a partial positive end (hydrogen - side) and a partial negative end (oxygen - side). The positively - charged end of the water molecule is attracted to the negatively - charged chloride anion through ion - dipole forces.
