What role does the molecular interaction play in solution of alcohol and water?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

There is strong hydrogen bonding in alcohol molecules as well as water molecules. The intermolecular forces both in alcohol ans water are H-bonds. When alcohol ans water are mixed. They from solution because of formation of H-bonds between alcohol and `H_(2)O` molecules but these interactions are weaker and less extensive than those in pure water. Hence, they show ive deviation from ideal behaviour.
