Question

Among the following, vander Waals' forces are maximum in:

• A. $HBr$
• B. $LiBr$
• C. $LiCl$
• D. $AgBr$

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

$AgBr$

• Van der Waal forces depend only on the number of electrons in each element, so the heavier the element, the higher the Van der Waals force.
• As we're talking about intermolecular bonding it has nothing to do with how polar the bond is between the two ions.
  
• So, $AgBr$ is correct answer.
