JEE Main Chemistry question

The intermolecular force of attraction between non-polar molecules is called

(A)H-bonding
(B)Dispersion forcesCorrect
(C)Interionic attraction
(D)Adhesive forces

Answer: (B)

Solution

Non-polar molecules have no permanent dipole, so the only attractive force available is the instantaneous, induced-dipole attraction known as London dispersion forces, arising from momentary fluctuations in electron density.
