London dispersion force occurs betwen all molecules but is the only intermolecular bond exhibited in NON polar molecules. since glucose (C6H12O6) is a polar molecule, the strongest force present is hydrogen bonding. hydrogen bonding occurse in between the hydrogen of one molecule and the oxygen, flourine, or nitrogen of another molecule.

∙ 11y agoThis makes it "organic". Glucose has six -O-H groups along the carbon skeleton. These -O-H are polar centers. The symmetry of glucose decreases the polarity of the molecule, but the "O" in each -O-H has a has a slight negative charge, d-. The hydrogen end of the -O-H has a slight positive charge, d+. Remember there are "6" of these in glucose.
Glucose dissolves in water because polar water molecules attach to the glucose molecules. The many O-H (hydroxyl- ) groups in glucose are attracted to the water molecules by dipole-dipole forces. The strength of these forces can be greater than the glucose -glucose interactions. The hydrogen bonding between water molecules and glucose also makes the glucose more water soluble.

What is the intermolecular force of Ch2Br2?
Dipole forces and London forces are present as intermolecular forces in these molecules.
What intermolecular forces are present in cl2?
London forces are present in chlorine molecules.
What intermolecular forces are present in ch3ch2ch2nh2 or h2nch2ch2ch2nh2?
Intermolecular forces in C3CH2CH2NH2London disperiondipole-dipolehydrogen-bonding forces
How do the strengths of the intermolecular forces vary from CO2 to CS2 to CSe2?
Of CO2, CS2 and CSe2, CO2 is the smallest molecule whereas CSe2 is the largest molecule. The same pattern exists in the strength of the intermolecular forces. All three are linear, non polar molecules.
What intermolecular forces are present in calcium chloride?

Does KCl have a higher boiling point than CO2?
KCl is an ionic substance (strong intermolecular forces) and CO2 is a non-polar covalent substance (weak intermolecular forces)
