Which kinds of intermolecular forces exist between propane molecules? I.dispersion forces
II)dipole-dipole interactions
Ion-dipole interactions

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Propane is a nonpolar molecule with an evenly distributed electron density. As a result, the only intermolecular force between propane molecules that can exist is dispersion or London forces. Dipole-dipole interactions and ion-dipole interactions require the presence of a permanent dipole moment or ion, respectively, which is not the case for propane. Therefore, the correct answer is choice A) I only.
