CHM 101 Chemical Bonding and Intermolecular Forces Objective Question
Take CBT

Question

What are ion-dipole interactions important for?
Options
A Solutions of ions, making it possible for ionic substances to dissolve in polar solvents
Correct Answer
B Gas behavior
C Metallic bonding
D Covalent crystal formation
Correct Answer

Option A is the correct answer.

Detailed Explanation

Ion-dipole interactions (stronger type of electrostatic interaction) are important in solutions of ions. The strength of these forces makes it possible for ionic substances to dissolve in polar solvents.

Hint

The notes explain the importance of these interactions for solubility.
