Which intermolecular force is present between all molecules, including nonpolar ones?
A.London dispersion forces
B.Hydrogen bonding
C.Ion–dipole forces
D.Dipole–dipole forces
Explanation
Core Concept
Every species has electrons that fluctuate, creating momentary dipoles that induce matching dipoles in neighbors. Dispersion forces are universal; they are simply the only IMF available to nonpolar molecules.
Correct Answer
ALondon dispersion forces
