What is the strongest intermolecular force that occurs between molecules in CO2?

a. Dipole-dipole
b. Induced dipoles
c. Ionic bonding
d. London dispersion

Respuesta :

Answer:- d. London dispersion

Explanations:- Carbon dioxide structure is given below:

                 O=C=O

It has two polar C=O bonds but even then it is non polar molecule as it's linear and the dipole moment of one C=O bond is canceled by it's opposite C=O bond.

being non polar, the only attraction forces present in it are London dispersion forces.

Answer:

d. London dispersion

Carbon dioxide is derived from the reaction between Carbon and Oxygen and the structure is as shown  below:

                O=C=O

The only intermolecular force found in carbon dioxide is the London dispersion forces and they are forces which are caused by electron movement which forms dipoles.

Carbondioxide has two polar C=O bonds in which the dipoles are cancelled out thereby making it a non polar compound. This non-polarity is what makes the only force present to be the London dispersion forces and can also be regarded as the strongest intermoelcular bond found in the compound (CO₂)
