Q. What type of intermolecular forces exist between $NH_{3}$ and $C_{6}H_{6}$ ?

NTA AbhyasNTA Abhyas 2020Chemical Bonding and Molecular Structure

Solution:

$NH_{3}$ is polar and $C_{6}H_{6}$ is non-polar. $NH_{3}$ molecule, being a dipole, induces a dipole in the non-polar $C_{6}H_{6}$ molecule. Dipole-induced dipole forces exist among the molecule of $NH_{3}$ and $C_{6}H_{6}$ . Since dispersion forces exist among species of any type, therefore, dispersion forces also exist. Hence, forces are dipole-induced dipole force and dispersion forces.
