D)dispersion

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dispersion forces, also known as London dispersion forces, are indeed the weakest of all intermolecular forces. They are present in all molecular interactions, but dominate only when no stronger forces are present. Covalent, metallic, and dipolar interactions are significantly stronger than dispersion forces.
