Question

question 3 (1 point) which of the following intermolecular bonds is the weakest? hydrogen bonds dipole dipole forces london dispersion forces covalent bonds

Explanation:

1. First, recall the nature of each force:

• Covalent bonds are intramolecular (within a molecule), not intermolecular, so we can eliminate this option.
• Hydrogen bonds are a special type of dipole - dipole interaction and are relatively strong among intermolecular forces.
• Dipole - dipole forces occur between polar molecules and are stronger than London Dispersion forces.
• London Dispersion forces are the weakest intermolecular forces as they result from temporary dipoles in non - polar or polar molecules due to the random movement of electrons.

Answer:

C. London Dispersion forces
