Intermolecular forces!

I thought that there will only be hydrogen bonds, and permanent dipole-permanent dipole forces. But as mark scheme says that all the options are correct, so is this the explanation that no matter what there will always be instantaneous dipole- induced dipole forces between any molecules? :eek:

all three, yes.

basically, you always have no. 3 whatever the molecule.

if there is a permanent dipole, you will have 2 in addition.

if there is a hydrogen bonded to an electronegative atom, you will also get 1 in addition

yup, no matter what there will always be instantaneous dipole- induced dipole forces between any molecules. you have just answered your own question, dear sir :wink:

It's true. I'd-I'd exists in all molecules. Pd-pd exists in polar molecules and hydrogen bonds exist where there is a hydrogen bonded to either nitrogen oxygen or fluorine.
