(a)
Interpretation:
Methyl cation would be attracted to the given ions or molecule and type of the intermolecular force involved in the attraction is to be determined.
Concept introduction:
Oppositely charged ions are attracted to each other due to strong intermolecular attractions. Ionic compounds are composed of oppositely charged particles held by the electrostatic force of attraction or ion-ion attractions. Ion-ion interactions are the strongest intermolecular interactions because ions have very high concentrations of position and negative charge. Covalent compounds containing an electronegative atom having lone pair of electrons can attract cations.
