Of the following, which is the dominant (strongest) type of intermolecular force present in RbCl(s)? A. lon-dipole
B. lonic
C. Dispersion
D. Dipole-dipole
E. Hydrogen bonding

B. Ionic

Explanation:

RbCl is ionic compound formed from the combination of rubidium (a strongly electropositive element) and chlorine (a strongly electronegative element).

The transfer of an electron from rubidium to chlorine leads to the formation of two oppositely charged ions Rb⁺ and Cl⁻.

In a solid crystal of RbCl, the major intermolecular forces of attraction are electrostatic forces of attraction between oppositely charged ions in the molecules of the crystalline solid.

Ion-dipole attraction only occur when the solid is dissolved in a polar molecule like water. Dispersion forces as well as dipole-dipole forces, though present are weak forces and contribute very little to intermolecular attraction. Hydrogen bonding is not present as there are no hydrogen atoms in solid RbCl.

- "the acute form of diverticulitis can manifest itself with one or more severe attacks of infection and inflammation.

the inflammation of diverticulitis can eventually result in a bowel obstruction, which may cause constipation, thin stools, diarrhea, abdominal swelling or bloating, and abdominal pain."

smooth muscle is composed of involuntary muscles found within the walls of organs and structures such as the esophagus, stomach, intestines, and blood vessels. those muscles push materials like food or blood through organs. unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle can never be under your control.
