Question

Van der Waals forces are:

• A. Dipole-dipole forces
• B. Dipole-Induced Dipole Forces
• C. Dispersion Forces or London Forces
• D. All of the above

Answer 1

The correct option is D All of the above

The attractive forces existing between polar as well non-polar molecules are collectively called van der Waals forces, Van der Waals forces can be classified into following categories:

(i) Dipole-Dipole forces

(ii) Dipole-induced dipole forces

(iii) Dispersion forces.

Hence option D is correct.
