The strongest intermolecular force is hydrogen bonding, which is a particular subset of dipole-dipole interactions that occur when a hydrogen is in close proximity (bound to) a highly electronegative element (namely oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine).
What is the strongest intermolecular force what is the weakest?
Intermolecular forces In the order of weakest to strongest:
- dispersion force.
- Dipole-dipole force.
- Hydrogen bond.
- Ion-dipole force.
Which of the following forces is the strongest?
Ordered from strongest to weakest, the forces are 1) the strong nuclear force, 2) the electromagnetic force, 3) the weak nuclear force, and 4) gravity. If you take two protons and hold them very close together, they will exert several forces on each other.
