What are the intermolecular forces of hexane?
I am curious about hexane. Can you tell me about its intermolecular forces?
Hexane molecules are held together by London dispersion forces, the weakest intermolecular force. This is because hexane is a nonpolar molecule, meaning that it does not have any permanent dipoles. As a result, these molecules are only attracted to each other through temporary fluctuations in their electron clouds.
