Answer to Question #118447 in General Chemistry for Angelina

Question

Which of the following statements is correct?

Dipole-dipole forces have a greater energy than dipole-induced dipole forces.
Ion-induced dipole forces have a greater energy than dipole-dipole forces.
Dipole-induced dipole forces have a greater energy than ion-induced dipole forces.
Dispersion forces have a greater energy than dipole-dipole forces.

Answer 1

ion-induced dipole forces have a greater energy than dipole-dipole forces is correct statement because the charge of any ion is greater than charge of the dipole moment.
