The forces that hold NH₃ together in the solid state are

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

NH₃ contains hydrogen bonding and dipole-dipole forces. These forces are stronger than London dispersion forces, which are weaker and do not play a significant role in holding this compound together. The compound does not contain ionic or covalent bonds, and the attraction between nuclei and delocalized valence electrons is a property of metallic bonding, which is not present in NH₃. Therefore, the correct choice of forces holding NH₃ together in the solid state is B.
