Intermolecular forces in compounds
« on: December 02, 2004, 11:58:35 AM »
I need help in identifying the intermolecular forces in each compound.  The options are: Van der Waal forces, Hydrogen bonding, Dipole-dipole forces, or none of the above.
The compounds are carbon disulfide, ammonia, oxygen, CH2F2, and C2H6.
Please respond as soon as possible.  Thanks.

Most Common Suggestions I Make on the Forums.
1. Start by writing a balanced chemical equation.
2. Don't confuse thermodynamic stability with chemical reactivity.
3. Forum Supports LaTex

note the electronegativity of individual element in each compound.
