Dispersion forces are due to ________
A)permanent dipoles.
B)temporary dipoles.
C)hydrogen bonding.
D)ionic interactions.
E)protons.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dispersion forces are also called London forces and are due to the temporary dipoles arising from the uneven distribution of electrons in molecules. These forces are present in all molecules, including nonpolar molecules that do not have permanent dipoles or hydrogen bonding. Ionic interactions are due to the attraction between ions of opposite charges and are not related to dispersion forces. Protons are positively charged particles found in the nucleus of an atom and are not related to dispersion forces.
