Final answer:

Hydrogen bonding is the strongest intermolecular force in methanol molecules, making it dominant among the options provided.


Explanation:

Hydrogen bonding is the strongest type of intermolecular force among the options provided, and it is present in molecules of methanol (CH3OH). Hydrogen bonds are formed between a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to an electronegative atom like oxygen (O) or nitrogen (N).

Dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, and hydrogen bonding are not equally strong. Hydrogen bonding is much stronger than both dispersion forces and dipole-dipole interactions. Methanol molecules exhibit hydrogen bonding, making it the dominant intermolecular force.
