Question

Say what types of intermolecular forces exist in molecules that lower indicated:
a) Cyclohexane (C6H12)
b) chloromethane (CH3Cl)
c) Phosphorus pentachloride (PCl5)
d) magnesium oxide (MgO)
e) sulfur hexachloride (SCl6)

Answer 1

a) Cyclohexane (C₆H₁₂) - like hydrogen bonds

b) chloromethane (CH₃Cl) - dipole forces

c) Phosphorus pentachloride (PCl₅) - coordinatingforce

d) magnesium oxide (MgO) - molecularcrystals

e) sulfur hexachloride (SCl₆) - hypervalentforce
