Which intermolecular force is most responsible in allowing xenon gas to liquefy?
Options
- ALondon forces
- BIon-dipole
- CIonic
- DDipole-dipole
Correct answer
A. London forces
Step-by-step solution
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.
