The predominant intermolecular forces present in ethyl acetate, a liquid, are

  1. A hydrogen bonding and London dispersion
  2. B Dipole-dipole and hydrogen bonding
  3. C London dispersion and dipole-dipole
  4. D London dispersion, dipole-dipole and hydrogen bonding
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) London dispersion and dipole-dipole

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Ethyl acetate is polar molecule. Hence there will be dipole-dipole attraction and london dispersion forces are present.
