What intermolecular force is possible in the following molecule of heroin,shown below?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Heroin is a polar molecule due to the presence of the carbonyl and hydroxyl groups, which can result in dipole-dipole interactions. In addition, all molecules have London dispersion forces, which arise due to instantaneous dipoles. Therefore, the correct answer is B, as both London forces and dipole-dipole interactions are possible in this molecule. Electrostatic forces involve ionic bonds, and there are no ionic bonds present in the heroin molecule.
