Question

Which of these is the most significant force that attracts polar molecules to

each other?
O
A. Dipole-dipole attractions
B. Covalent bond formations
O
C. Van der Waals interactions
O
D. Ion-ion attractions

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is Dipole-dipole attractions

Step-by-step explanation:

Polar molecules attract each other mainly due to the attraction between the opposite charges (positive and negative) known as DIPOLE, carried by their constituent molecules.

For example: Water (H2O) is Polar due to its dipole-dipole interaction, as the positively charged hydrogen ion (H+) is attracted to the negatively charged hydroxyl ion (OH-)
