Which factor is responsible for the weak attraction between diatomic molecules of the halogens (group 7a)?

a) hydrogen bonding
b) ionic bonding
c) dipole interactions
d) london dispersion forces

Since these halogens have linear molecules, they cannot be polar, so C is incorrect. Hydrogen bonding occurs in liquids, so A is also incorrect. Halogens don't form ionic bonds, so B is also incorrect.
The correct answer as to which factor is responsible for the weak attraction between diatomic molecules of the halogens is D. London dispersion forces, which affect all molecules.
