  1. Dipole-Dipole means polar!

    So, we know its not H2

    We know its not CCl4,

    CaCl2 is polar.

    C2O(H3)2 is not polar i believe. because the O has electrons around it.

    and CO2 is polar.


  2. For there to be dipole-dipole interaction there must be polar moleclues.

    CH3OCH3 is not polar, hence not dipole-dipole interaction

    H2 is not polar, ditto

    CO2 is linear and not polar, ditto.

    CCl4 is tetrahedral and not polar, ditto

    CaCl2 is an ionic network solid, and not a polar moleclue

    So it appears that none of these have dipole-dipole interactions.  All molecular compounds do exhibit London dispersion forces, though.
