Question 16 • Chemistry

Among the intermolecular forces, which forces are typically the weakest?

Answer
A
London dispersion forces
B
hydrogen bonds
C
dipole-dipole interactions
D
dipole-induced dipole interactions

Explanation

London dispersion forces are typically the weakest intermolecular forces. They arise from temporary shifts in electron distribution that create brief, induced dipoles. Dipole-induced dipole interactions and dipole-dipole interactions usually involve stronger attractions, while hydrogen bonds are relatively strong among intermolecular forces.
