Question

For the following intermolecular force descriptions, select the correct name from the response list: Weakest of all intermolecular forces.

A. London force

B. covalent bond

C. hydrogen bond

D. dipole-dipole interaction

Expert Solution

Step 1

London dispersion forces (LDF, also known as dispersion forces,
London forces are a type of force acting between atoms and molecules. They are part of the van der Waals forces. The LDF is named after the German-American physicist Fritz London.

The LDF is a weak intermolecular force arising from quantum-induced instantaneous polarization multipoles in molecules. They can therefore act between molecules without permanent multipole moments.
