Acetone is a polar molecule that is attracted to other acetone molecules through dipole-dipole interactions. The oxygen on the acetone, however, is not directly bonded to a hydrogen atom so it does not form hydrogen bonds with other acetone molecules.

∙ 15y agoI would say that, based on the molecular formula (CH3COCH3), the intermolecular forces are London Dispersion forces (of course) as well as dipole-dipole forces since there is a dipole moment due to the electronegativitiy of the oxygen.

∙ 11y agono..it cannot...only carboxylic acid and aldehyde can hydrogen bond...hope that helps
ester ( ethylacetate) , ethers , ketones...do not hydrogen bond

Chemical name for acetone?
Acetone is the common name. It is also known as dimethly ketone or 2-proponone, which are its proper names, in chemistry. =)
Is acetone a weak base?
Acetone can act as a base or and acid, depending on the nature of the other reagents and the reaction conditions.
Why does acetone dissolve in water?
Acetone will float in water because it has a lower density than water. A few other liquids which will float on water are: ethanol, ether, methylated spirits and olive oil. Some that will sink in water are: chloroform and mercury.
When water molecules stick to the molecules of other substance the molecules are displaying?
Adhesion is the ability of water molecules to stick to other molecules. Cohesion is the ability of water molecules sticking to one another.
Why do acetone and oil mix?
It's because of the similarity in their polarity. acetone and ether have methyl groups which makes them non polar. and oil has long carbon chain which makes it non polar too. it makes acetone can soluble in both ether and oil. it's based on "like dissolves like" principle.
Is toluene miscible in dichloromethane?
Yes acetone and dichloromethane are both polar molecules so they are soluble in each other and form polar interactions.
Why does aluminum float on water and ethanol but sinks on acetone?
H bonds present between the h2o molecules creates surface tension greater than that present in other liquids.
What do you get when you combine acetone and hydrogen peroxide?
The acetone and hydrogen peroxide would react with each other to make the high explosive acetone peroxide. An acid such as hydrochloric is commonly used in the synthesis of acetone peroxide, which speeds up the formation if it.

Do all nail polish removers contain acetone?
No not all nail varnish removers contian acetone. You can get an acetone free nail polish remover from tesco's. It will say on the fron of the bottle that it is acetone free. I asure you it works just aswell as the other stuff as i use it myself x
Is a molecule equivalent to a molecule?
Molecules are not always equivalent to molecules, as some molecules have more atoms than other molecules, and other molecules have different kinds of atoms than other molecules.

What solvent is in nail varnish soluble?
Non-acetone nail polish removers contain ethyl acetate. The other removers contain acetone. If you have acrylic nails, and you're either doing someone else's nails or painting your acrylics, do not get acetone-based removers because acetone dissolves acrylics.
Is acetone evaporating form nail polish remover positive or negative?
Yes, Acetone evaporates, just like Alcohol. But if in the nail polish remover there're other ingredients besides the Acetone, than the liquid won't evaporate completely!
What bond bonds water molecules with other water molecules?
hydrogen bond bonds water molecules with other water molecules.

Adhesion is the ability of water molecules to stick to other molecules. Cohesion is the ability of water molecules sticking to one another.
