Step-by-step explanation:

London dispersion forces are weak intermolecular forces due to which a temporary charge arises on two adjacent atoms.

These forces are also called temporary attractive forces.

London dispersion forces occurs in all molecules but in non-polar molecules only london dispersion forces arise.

This is because in non-polar molecules either dipole moment cancels out or they have no dipole moment.

The forces that involve non-polar molecules is called london dispersion forces. Non-polar molecules have bonds in which the electrons are shared equally between the participating atoms. Polar bonds are joined by dipole-dipole forces, on the other hand.
