Which of the following forces are developed only for a few moments?

Correct answer: C. London dispersion forces

  • A. Dipole-dipole forces
  • B. Debye forces
  • C. London dispersion forces
  • D. H-bonding

Explanation

London Dispersion Forces are also known as "instantaneous dipole" induced dipole interactions created by the momentary forced of attractions between instantaneous dipole and induced dipole. Hence, they're only created for a few moments.

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.
