Question

The interaction energy of London force is inversely proportional to sixth power of the distance between two interacting particles but their magnitude depends upon

• A. charge of interacting particles
• B. mass of interacting particles
• C. polarisability of interacting particles
• D. strength o f permanent dipoles in the particles.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Greater the polarisability of the interacting particles, greater is the magnitude of interaction energy.
