Is CS2 dipole-dipole?
Best answer

Nope, CS2 isn't dipole-dipole. It's actually a linear molecule where the polarity of the C=S bonds cancels out. This means it's nonpolar and does not have a dipole-dipole interaction. Instead, it interacts through London dispersion forces.

CS2? Nah, that's nonpolar. No dipole-dipole action there, just good old dispersion forces.

Actually tried to argue this in chem class once, thinking CS2 would be dipole-dipole because of the C=S. Professor clarified it's nonpolar because it's linear and the charges balance out. So, no dipole-dipole interaction.
