With what compound will nh3 experience only ion-dipole intermolecular forces? a) ocl2 b) naoh c) sio2 d) ch3i e) c4h9oh

Here we have to choose the molecule which can generate ion-dipole interaction with ammonia.

The NH₃ will have ion dipole interaction only with b) NaOH.

a) The OCl₂ molecule is highly unstable and remains in a linear state as shown in the figure.

b) The NaOH is purely an ionic compound. There is one lone pair of electron on the nitrogen (N) atom of ammonia and also the N-H bond has dipole moment. Now among the given molecules only NaOH is ionic in nature which remains as Na⁺ and OH⁻. Thus we can expect an ion-dipole interaction between these molecules, it is shown in the figure.

c) SiO₂ is purely an covalent compound the structure is shown in the figure.

d) Methyl iodide (CH₃I) is also a covalent compound.

e) The butanol (C₄H₉OH) is a covalent compound.

So we may expect only ion-dipole interaction with b) NaOH.

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.
