The intermolecular forces existing between two non polar molecules are called
dipole-dipole forces
electrostatic forces
ionic forces
London or dispersion forces
The forces operating between non polar molecules are weak dispersion forces also known as “London forces”.
Match the following:
(1)Non-polar Molecular solids (i) Coulombic or electrostatic forces
(2)H-Bonded Molecular solids (ii) H-bonding
(3)Ionic solids (iii) Metallic bonding
(4)Covalent solids (iv) Weak dispersion forces
(5)Metallic solids (v) dipole – dipole interaction
(vi) covalent Bonding

In dipole-induced dipole forces, the dipole moments (μ) of polar and non polar molecules are
