When an ionic compound is dissolved in water, ion-dipole attractions form between the ions and the water molecules. How are these ion-dipole forces formed?
a) The partially positive end of a water molecule is attracted to a negative ion, while the partially negative end of a water molecule is also attracted to a negative ion.
b) The partially positive end of a water molecule is attracted to a positive ion, while the partially negative end of a water molecule is also attracted to a positive ion.
c) The partially positive end of a water molecule is attracted to a negative ion, while the partially negative end of a water molecule is attracted to a positive ion.
d) The partially positive end of a water molecule is attracted to a positive ion, while the partially negative end of a water molecule is attracted to a negative ion.
