London dispersion forces are the only forces present amongst ?
Correct answer: C. Molecules of solid iodine.
- A. Atoms of helium in gaseous state at high temperature.
- B. Molecules of water.
- C. Molecules of solid iodine.
- D. Molecules of HCl gas.
Explanation
Correct option is C, Iodine is a non-polar molecule as there is an equal sharing of electrons between the two Iodine atoms present. As a consequence, the major intermolecular force of attraction present in iodine are London dispersion forces. This arises from the constant motion of electrons to create a momentary dipole.

About Chemical Bonding
Chemical bonding explains molecular shape through VSEPR theory and distinguishes sigma bonds from pi bonds. Questions involve hybridization, bond angles, dipole moment and bond energy, including how electron-pair repulsion determines geometry and how bond polarity differs from the overall polarity of a molecule.
