Which of the following are the weakest intermolecular forces?
Correct answer: C. London dispersion forces
- A. Dipole dipole forces
- B. Debye forces
- C. London dispersion forces
- D. H-bonding
Explanation
London's dispersion forces are the weakest of all the intermolecular forces. They arise due to the temporary dipoles that are formed due to the fluctuations of electron distribution in a molecule.

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.
