Capsaicin is the molecule responsible for the burning sensation of peppers. It is a polar molecule, but it does not form hydrogen bonds. When consuming a very spicy pepper, many people turn to milk to alleviate the burning sensation. Casein, a protein present in milk, has the ability to interact with capsaicin, 'cleaning' the molecule from our mouth. Considering the characteristics of capsaicin and casein, what type of intermolecular interaction is essential for this 'cleaning' to occur and why?

The fundamental intermolecular interaction for the 'cleaning' of capsaicin by casein is the ion-dipole interaction.

The fundamental intermolecular interaction for the 'cleaning' of capsaicin by casein is dipole-dipole interaction.

The fundamental intermolecular interaction for the 'cleaning' of capsaicin by casein is dipole-induced dipole interaction.

The fundamental intermolecular interaction for the 'cleaning' of capsaicin by casein is hydrogen bonding.

The fundamental intermolecular interaction for the 'cleaning' of capsaicin by casein is London dispersion force.
