Octane is a component of fuel used in internal combustion engines. the dominant intermolecular forces in octane are
a. dipole-dipole forces.
b. london dispersion forces.
c. hydrogen bonding.
d. covalent bonds.
e. carbon-hydrogen bonds.

I think the correct answer would be B. Octane is a component of fuel used in internal combustion engines. the dominant intermolecular forces in octane are london dispersion forces. Dipole-dipole bonds happens only with polar substances. Hydrogen bonding occurs when H bonds with an O, F or N atom. Covalent bonds are not intermolecular force rather it is an intramolecular force. Carbon-Hydrogen bonds, as far as I know, are not a type of bond, intermolecular or intramolecular. So, we are left with london dispersion force. It is a temporary force that happens when electrons of two atoms in adjacent would occupy positions that would form dipoles temporarily.

2positives of biotechnology: 1. plants have become more resistant to viruses and other communicable pests.2. with the of biotechnology, we have been able to produce better tasting fruits as well as vegetables.2 negatives of biotechnology: 1. biotechnology poses a number of environmental threats. genetically modifies crops often infect monarch butterflies and other insect species.2. viruses could combine with crops.
