Ion-ion force between Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions.

London dispersion force between two hexane molecules.

Explanation:

Suppose that NaCl is added to hexane (C₆H₁₄) instead of water. Which of the following intermolecular forces will exist in the system?

Check all that apply.

Ion-dipole force between Na⁺ ions and a hexane molecule. NO. Hexane is nonpolar so it can interact through ion-dipole forces.Ion-ion force between Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions. YES. Na⁺ is a cation (positive ion) and interacts with the anion (negative ion) Cl⁻ through ion-ion forces.Dipole-dipole force between two hexane molecules. NO. Since hexane molecules are not dipoles, they do not show dipole-dipole interaction.Hydrogen bonding between Na⁺ ions and a hexane molecule. NO. Hydrogen bonding requires H bonded to a very electronegative atom, such as N, O or F, which does not happen in hexane.London dispersion force between two hexane molecules. YES. The kind of interaction between nonpolar molecules is London dispersion force.
