Which of the following molecules can have dipole-dipole interactions? A) CH₄ B) CO₂ C) both CH₄and CO₂ D) neither CH_{4 or}CO₂

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both CH₄ and CO₂ are nonpolar molecules. CH₄ has a symmetrical tetrahedral shape, and CO₂ has a linear shape, resulting in no net dipole moment for either molecule. Therefore, neither can have dipole-dipole interactions.
