When I2 dissolves in methanol, CH3OH, what type of forces exist between I2 and CH3OH molecules in solution?
Answered by DrBob222
CH3OH is a polar molecule. I2 is a large ion and the electron cloud is easily distorted; therefore, the polar CH3OH induces a dipole in the I2 and a dipole-induced dipole bond incurs.
