Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acetone has a dipole moment due to the presence of a carbonyl group. This results in dipole-dipole interactions being the strongest intermolecular forces between acetone molecules in the liquid or solid state. Dispersion forces and hydrogen bonding are weaker than dipole-dipole forces in acetone. There are no ionic interactions present in acetone molecules.
