Strength of IMF

Postby Chloe Alviz 1E » Mon Nov 18, 2019 3:58 pm

I read in the textbook that the hydrogen bond is the strongest intermolecular force; however, other sources I've looked at said that the ion-dipole interaction is the strongest force. Which one is stronger?

I believe that the hydrogen bond (-20 kJ/mol) is indeed stronger than the ion-dipole force (-15 kJ/mol).
