What type of intermolecular altractive force are present in CO2?
Correct answer: C. London forces
- A. Hydrogen bonding
- B. Dipole-dipole interaction
- C. London forces
- D. Covalent bounding
Explanation
London forces are caused by movement of electrons leading to instantaneous dipoles. It is the only force present in CO2 hence the low boiling point.Atomic number is the number of protons in an atom.

About Properties of Liquids
Liquid behavior depends on intermolecular forces, which produce surface tension, viscosity, capillary action and a definite volume without a fixed shape. The topic also covers vapor pressure, evaporation, boiling point and the effect of temperature and external pressure, while distinguishing evaporation at the surface from boiling throughout the liquid.
