Question

which statement best describes london dispersion forces?
○ repulsive intramolecular forces
○ attractive intramolecular forces
○ attractive intermolecular forces
○ repulsive intermolecular forces

Explanation:

London dispersion forces are weak, attractive forces that act between separate molecules (intermolecular), not within a single molecule (intramolecular). They arise from temporary dipoles formed by random electron distribution in atoms or molecules, leading to mutual attraction between neighboring particles.

Answer:

C. attractive intermolecular forces
