Hi guys my name is Nima, im new here and I had a question.
We are doing a "lab" (not really) to determine in which group an unknown solid we are getting belongs to. Through a series of procedures I can see whats what in a process of elimination. what I cant do (and I dont know how ) is being able to distinguish whether or not the intermolcular force holding the molecular solid together is a regular dipole-dipole attraction or hydrogen bonding (since the solid is unknown, we dont know the chemical formula). I know that I would have hydrogen bonding when there is hydrogen and F or O or N.
how do I determine this? what can I do/react/observe/etc?
Thanks,
Nima
