In class we discussed three types of intermolecular attractive forces: hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole and dispersion. After reading the following question enter your answers in the text field boxes and click the submit button. NOTE: When entering answers into the form use hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole, dispersion or none.


Identify the type of intermolecular attractive force(s) that are present in water, H2O. If only one attractive force exists enter 'none' for the secondary attractive force.

Most important attractive force : forces
Secondary attractive force : forces
