Question

Which statement about London dispersion forces is TRUE?

а
London dispersion forces are the primary force
holding water molecules together.
b London dispersion forces are the strongest
intermolecular forces.
C London Dispersion forces are temporary in nature.
d London dispersion forces are permanent dipoles
between polar molecules.

Answer 1

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

When electrons between two combining adjacent atoms attain positions which leads to the formation of temporary charges over the atoms then there exists a temporary adjacent force called London dispersion force.

This force is also known as induced dipole-induced dipole attraction.

When the temperature is lowered to a certain point then London forces causes the non-polar substances to condense to liquid and then they freeze into solids.
