Dimerisation of solute molecules in low dielectric constant solvent is due to

  1. A hydrogen bond
  2. B covaelent bond
  3. C co-ordinate bond
  4. D ionic bond
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) hydrogen bond

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Dimerisation of solute molecules in low
dielectric constant solvent is primarily due to intermolecular interactions such as van der Waals' forces and hydrogen bonding. These forces allow the solute molecules to overcome the electrostatic repulsion and form stable dimers.
