What intermolecular forces are present among molecules in dimethyl ether, CH3OCH3? a) London forces only
b) hydrogen bonding only
c) both London dispersion forces and hydrogen bonding
d) both London dispersion forces and dipole-dipole forces

London forces only

Explanation:

Dimethyl ether is a nonpolar organic compound. Remember that for nonpolar organic substances, London forces are the primary intermolecular forces present.

Since dimethyl ether is a nonpolar organic compound, then it has London forces as its major intermolecular force. Intermolecular forces hold molecules of a substance together in a given state of matter.

alkaline metals are lithium, sodium, rubidium, potassium, cesium and francium.

alkali metals have electronegativity from 0.7 to 1, lowest in periodic table of elements, which means that alkali metals (i group in periodic table) has positive oxidation number in compounds.

electronegativity is a chemical property that describes the tendency of an atom to attract a shared pair of electrons towards itself.

alkaline metals (far left in main group) have lowest ionizations energy and easy remove valence electrons,

for example, potassium is the alkali metal and has a single valence electron in the outer electron shell.

electron configuration of potassium is: ₁₉k 1s²2s²2p⁶3s²3p⁶4s¹.

they can not exist alone in nature, because they are very reactive.

the answer is minerals.
