Which type of intermolecular force most strongly attracts an ethanol molecule to surrounding water molecules in an aqueous solution?
(a) Ion–dipole interactions between ethanol and water molecules
(b) Permanent dipole–dipole forces between ethanol and water molecules (without hydrogen bonding)
(c) Hydrogen bonding between the –OH group of ethanol and water
(d) London dispersion forces only between ethanol and water molecules
