Which substance involves no bonding forces except London dispersion forces? A)NaCl(l) B)HF(l) C)N₂(s) D)H₂O(l) E)K(s)

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

N₂ (s) is a nonpolar molecule and does not have any other type of bonding except for London dispersion forces. This is because the N₂ molecule has a temporary and very weak dipole moment which is derived from the brief and haphazard fluctuations of electron distribution around its atoms. NaCl (l), HF (l), H₂O (l), and K (s) have other types of bonding forces such as ionic, covalent, hydrogen bonding, or metallic bonding.
