Best Answer

An acetone molecule does have a net dipole. The dipole moment of acetone is 2.91 D. This is caused by the difference in electronegativity between methyl groups and a carbonyl group.

yes, there is a NET field .electric dipole experiences a net field .(not in uniform E.Field)


What is the intermolecular force of acetone?

dipole-dipole and dispersion forces similar to water without hydrogen bonding as hydrogen is not bonded directly to oxygen. note: oxygen has 2 lone pair in both acetone and h2o.

Acetone molecules H-bond with other acetones?

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.


Why is actone miscible in water?

The general rule is that "like dissolves like." Both water and acetone are polar molecules, which means that they both have perminant electric dipole moments caused by the electronegatively difference between oxygen and hydrogen atoms. So, acetone is miscible in water because of dipole-dipole interactions between the hydroxyl groups both compounds. This specific kind of dipole-dipole interaction: hydrogen bonding.


What type of molecule has Dipole-Dipole forces created?

Ay molecule with a net dipole moment will have dipole -dipole interactions. These are molecules with polar bonds caused by a diference in electronegativity between the atoms being bonded.
