Chapter 11.4, Problem 2RC

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation: It should be determined for the largest intermolecular forces among the following compounds. .

Concept introduction:

London dispersion forces:

These forces are often found in the halogen ( ${\text{F}}_{\text{2}}{\text{ and I}}_{\text{2}}$_), the Nobel gases $\left(\text{Ne and Ar}\right)$ and other non-polar molecule, such as carbon dioxide and methane.

London dispersion forces are first observes in London so it’s named like this.

This is the part of Vander Waals forces, or weak intermolecular attractions.
