Question

The forces acting between noble gas atoms are:

• A. van der Waal's forces
• B. Ion–dipole forces
• C. Dipole-dipole forces
• D. Magnetic forces

Answer 1

The correct option is A van der Waal's forces

Standalone noble gas molecules do not fall under ions or permanent dipoles. When one molecule (or atom) comes closer to another, at the right diatnce range, there is an attraction between the concerned molecules which is of the same nature as that of London dispersion forces.
