Quizplus · Accepted Answer

All four statements are correct concerning drawing I, which likely refers to a depiction of London dispersion forces. These forces are indeed induced dipoles that occur in all molecules, are relatively weak and short-lived, can be found in molecules like CS2 (assuming the given code represents a molecule like CS2), and are specifically called London dispersion forces.
