How can we explain the force between nonpolar molecules? A. the permanent dipole of one molecule is attracted to the permanent dipole of the other molecule B. The permanent dipole of one molecule is attracted to the temporary diple of the other molecule C. the temporary dipole of one molecule is attracted to the temporary dipole of the other molecule D. There is no force between these molecules

Expert Solution
Step 1

Non-polar molecules are the molecules which doesn't contain any type of electrical charger or we can say that partial charges.

Intermolecular forces that exist between two nonpolar molecules are known as London forces. "The attraction between two temporary dipoles is called the London force." This is the weakest kind of attraction. It is also knows ad the dispersion force.
