Which type of forces exist between iodine molecules?
Correct answer: C. Instantaneous dipole-induced dipole forces
- A. Dipole-dipole forces
- B. Dipole-induced dipole forces
- C. Instantaneous dipole-induced dipole forces
- D. Non-polar forces
Explanation
The correct type of forces that exist between iodine molecules (I₂) is C. Instantaneous dipole-induced dipole forces (London dispersion forces). Iodine molecules are nonpolar and therefore primarily interact through London dispersion forces.

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.
