Two atoms X and Y are non-polar and electrically symmetrical
What type of intermolecular force of attraction can be developed between them?
Options:
Answer:
B
Solution:
In non-polar atom, a dipole may develop momentarily. If the atom X becomes unsymmetrical resulting in development of instantaneous dipole for a very short time, it distorts the electron density of Y which is close to it and dipole is induced in the atom Y. Temporary dipoles X and Y attract each other. This attraction is called London or dispersion force.
