Answer:

London dispersion forces.

Step-by-step explanation:

London dispersion forces, are the weakest type of intermolecular interactions. Its name is due to the contributions of the physicist Fritz London.

London forces explain how molecules whose structures and atoms prevent the formation of a permanent dipole. It basically applies to apolar molecules or to atoms isolated from noble gases.

Fluorine is a gas at room temperature, pale yellow in color, made up of F2 diatomic molecules. London forces are present in this gas since it has a homogeneous electrostatic distribution, which can suffer instantaneous dipoles and lead to polarizations.
