Which type of interparticle forces leads to compounds with the lowest melting points?
A)covalent
B)dispersion
C)ionic
D)dipole-dipole

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dispersion forces, also known as London dispersion forces, are the weakest of the intermolecular forces. They are present in all molecular interactions, but dominate in nonpolar molecules and atoms, leading to compounds with the lowest melting points compared to those held together by stronger forces such as ionic, covalent, or dipole-dipole interactions.
