Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hydrocarbons are composed of carbon and hydrogen atoms, which share electrons almost equally, making them nonpolar. They interact through dispersion forces, which are the weakest type of van der Waals force and occur between all molecules, but are the only type present in nonpolar molecules like hydrocarbons.
