Best Answer

Water molecules surround the sodium ion- the negative end of the water pointing towards the sodium ion. the attraction is electrostatic. The bond is weak- the effect is a hydration sphere of water where the water molecules drift in and drift out.

Which type of force is stronger intramolecular or intermolecular force?

Intermolecular forces are the forces between molecules which hold two or more of them together; intramolecular forces happen inside of the molecule, & are the forces holding the atoms together witch form the molecule.


Explain why oil does not dissolve in water.?

The main intermolecular forces between water molecules are hydrogen bonds which are pretty strong as far as intermolecular forces go. Between hydrocarbon chains (oil) the main intermolecular force are London force which are weaker. For two liquids to be miscible the intermolecular forces between them have to be similar in strength or they won't dissolve. Water and oil have different strengths of intermolecular bonds so don't mix.
