Question 23 • Chemistry

Among the intermolecular forces, which forces are typically the weakest?

Answer
A
dipole-dipole interactions
B
dipole-induced dipole interactions
C
hydrogen bonds
D
London dispersion forces

Explanation

London dispersion forces are typically the weakest intermolecular forces. They arise from temporary shifts in electron distribution that create brief, induced dipoles. Dipole-induced dipole interactions and dipole-dipole interactions usually involve stronger attractions, while hydrogen bonds are relatively strong among intermolecular forces.
