D. Hydrogen bonding
E. Dipole-dipole force

D

Explanation:

Hydrogen Bond is one of the many different types of bonds there are. It is a primarily electrostatic force of attraction between a hydrogen atom that is covalently bounded to another electronegative atom or group. The group it bonds with mostly are elements of the second-row elements in the periodic table, like nitrogen oxygen or even fluorine. Hydrogen bonds have the capabilities to be either intermolecular or intramolecular. This often depends on the nature and type of thees atoms donating, and even that of the atoms receiving.

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
