Question

The nature of inter-molecular forces among benzene molecules is:

• A. Dispersion forces
• B. Hydrogen Bonding
• C. Ion-dipole interaction
• D. Dipole-dipole interaction

Answer 1

The correct option is A Dispersion forces

Benzene molecules are non-polar in nature as their dipole moment is zero. Hydrogen bonding is not possible since the difference in the electronegativities is less. So, the only intermolecular force present between benzene molecules is dispersion force.
