Q1: The relative strength of interionic/ intermolecular forces in decreasing order is:
(A) ion-dipole > dipole-dipole > ion-ion

(B) dipole-dipole > ion-dipole > ion-ion

(C) ion-ion > ion-dipole > dipole-dipole

Ion-ion interactions are stronger because they have stronger electrostatic forces of attraction whereas dipoles have partial
charges and hence the electrostatic forces in their case would be relatively weak.

Q3: The predominant intermolecular forces present in ethyl acetate, a liquid, are:
(A) London dispersion, dipole-dipole and hydrogen bonding

(B) hydrogen bonding and London dispersion

(C) dipole-dipole and hydrogen bonding

(D) London dispersion and dipole-dipole

Solution:

London dispersion forces (also called as induced dipole - induced dipole interactions), exist because of the generation of
temporary polarity due to collision of particles and for this very reason, they are present in all molecules and inert gases as
well.

Because of the presence of a permanent dipole, there will be dipole-dipole interactions present here.

There is no H that is directly attached to an oxygen atom, so H-bonding cannot be present.
