A)London forces only You will not get hydrogen bonds in methanal (or as it is more commonly known, formaldehyde) because whilst there are hydrogen atoms in the molecule, they are not bonded to the electronegative oxygen atom. There will be some dipole-dipole interactions between the permanent dipole of the carbonyl group (partial +ve on the […]
