What intermolecular force or bond is primarily responsible for the solubility of CH₃OH in water? A) ion-dipole force B) dipole-dipole force C) ionic bonding D) covalent bonding E) hydrogen bonding

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

CH₃OH contains hydrogen, oxygen, and sulfur atoms that are capable of forming hydrogen bonds with water molecules. Hydrogen bonding is a type of dipole-dipole force that is primarily responsible for the solubility of CH₃OH in water. The other options, ion-dipole force, ionic bonding, and covalent bonding, do not apply to CH₃OH's interaction with water.
