What types of intermolecular forces are present in pentane?
Octane and pentane have only London dispersion forces; ethanol and acetic acid have hydrogen bonding. Hydrogen bonding is much stronger than London dispersion forces. Because octane is larger than pentane, it will have more London dispersion forces, thus pentane has the weakest intermolecular forces.Click to see full answer. People also ask, is pentane a dipole dipole?(b) Linear n-pentane molecules have a larger surface area and stronger intermolecular forces than spherical neopentane molecules.
