What are the types of intermolecular forces present in solutions formed due to solvent-solute interaction.?
Answer:
First of all intermolecular forces are attractive forces between molecules, ions and ions and molecules together. Without these interaction all substances would be gases. There are five types of forces: Ion-dipole, dipole-dipole(which includes hydrogen bonding between fluorine, oxygen and nitrogen), Dipole induced dipole, Induced dipole/Induced dipole(Dispersion Forces) and van der waals forces which do not involve ions. Also note that a solute will dissolve in a solvent if the solute-solvent forces of attraction are great enough to overcome the solute-solute forces and the solvent-solvent forces of attraction. A solute will not dissolve if the solute-solvent forces of attraction are weaker than individual solute and solvent intermolecular attractions.
For the most part, you can have hydrogen bonds, ion-dipole interactions, dipole-dipole interactions, and to a very small extend, dispersion forces. Which is most important will depend on the identity of the solute and of the solvent. Non-polar solvents will only have dispersion forces in their solutions.
