Which of the following molecules would exhibit only london forces? a)ch4, bh3, and ccl4b)h2o, nh3, and ccl4c)ph3, nh3, and ccl4

a)CH₄, BH₃, and CCl₄

Explanation:

London dispersion forces:-

The bond for example, in the molecule is F-F, which is non-polar in nature because the two fluorine atoms have same electronegativity values.

The intermolecular force acting in the molecule are induced dipole-dipole forces or London Dispersion forces / van der Waals forces which are the weakest intermolecular force.

Out of the given options, H₂O , NH₃ exhibits hydrogen bonding which is:-

Hydrogen bonding:-

Hydrogen bonding is a special type of the dipole-dipole interaction and it occurs between hydrogen atom that is bonded to highly electronegative atom which is either fluorine, oxygen or nitrogen atom.

Thus option B and C rules out.

Hence, the correct option which represents the molecules which would exhibit only London forces is:- a)CH₄, BH₃, and CCl₄

answer : a model is often used to explain and make things easier to understand when any scientific topic needs to be demonstrated and explained.

as in this case where a scientist wants to use a model to present the results of his detailed scientific investigation. he should do it as it will him to make the audience understand the concept in a much better way. also, it can be changed according to new scientific understandings.

a is the correct answer
