Carboxylic Acid Carbon is an 𝑠𝑝 carbon (3 sigma bonds + 1 pi bond) 2 Van Der Waals Interactions-London Dispersion (your C-H bonds; non polar) Dipole-Dipole: attractive forces between the positive end of one polar molecule and the negative end of another polar molecule. Hydrogen bonding: Hydrogen bonds are the strongest of intermolecular forces for covalent compounds because they have the strongest permanent molecular dipoles of any covalent bonds. The three types of covalent bonds that qualify for hydrogen bonding are H-F, O-H, and N-H bonds. Carboxylic acids are acidic, because they have stable conjugate bases
