Question

Which intermolecular force is most responsible in allowing xenon gas to liquefy? (A) London forces (B) Ion-dipole (C) Ionic (D) Dipole-dipole

Tardigrade Admin · Accepted Answer

London dispersion Force (LDF), also known as london forces, or instantaneous dipole-induced dipole forces, is the weakest Van der-waals force which arises in non-polar molecules due to temporary rearrangement of electrons.
