Question
which of the following factors can influence the strength of london dispersion forces? polarizability of the electron cloud, molecular weight, molecular shape, all of the above
Brief Explanations
London dispersion forces are affected by the polarizability of the electron - cloud (more polarizable clouds lead to stronger forces), molecular weight (heavier molecules have stronger forces due to more electrons), and molecular shape (elongated shapes have stronger forces than spherical ones as they allow for greater surface - to - surface contact).
