What type of inter molecular force is present between magnesium chloride and water?
- A Dipole-dipole interaction
- B Ion-dipole interaction
- C Dipole-induced dipole interaction
- D Hydrogen bonding
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) Ion-dipole interaction
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Ion-dipole interaction
Between magnesium chloride and water, there is an ion-dipole interaction. This contact is caused by polar water molecules interacting with a magnesium ion. The water molecule's oxygen atom contains a tiny negative charge, which attracts the positively charged magnesium ion. These are substantially weaker forces than covalent or ionic bonding.
