Question

Which term is given to the intermolecular force which results from random movement of electrons in molecules?

• A. Dipole-dipole attraction
• B. Hydrogen bonding
• C. Van der Waals forces
• D. Covalent bond

Answer 1

The correct option is C Van der Waals forces

Vander waals force is given term to the intermolecular force which result from random movent of electrons.

Vander waals force are weak, short-range electrostatic attractive force between molecules arising from interaction of transient electric dipole moments.
