Chapter 13.5, Problem 13.8P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Among ${\text{F}}_{\text{2}}$, ${\text{Br}}_{\text{2}}$ and ${\text{I}}_{\text{2}}$ that has strongest London dispersion forces has to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

Molecules with no dipole moments are bonded through some forces. Therefore, the forces that exist between nonpolar molecules that include noble gases are called London dispersion forces. These forces are weak and thus can break easily.
