Which of the following molecules has London Forces as its only intermolecular force? A)H₂O B)CH₃CH₂NH₂ C)HOCH₂CH₂OH D)CH₃CH₃ E)None, all of the above exhibit dispersion forces.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

London Forces, also known as dispersion forces, are the only type of intermolecular force present in nonpolar molecules. Among the given options, D) CH₃CH₃ (ethane) is the only nonpolar molecule, as it consists of C-H bonds which have very little difference in electronegativity, leading to a lack of dipole moment. The other molecules have polar bonds or functional groups that would result in other types of intermolecular forces such as hydrogen bonding or dipole-dipole interactions.
