Which type of solids are held by weak dispersion forces?

Open in App

Solution

Dispersion force or London forces
An atom's dipole can be caused by an uneven distribution of electrons around the nucleus.
When another atom or molecule comes into touch with this induced dipole, it might be deformed, resulting in an electrostatic attraction between the two.
Non-polar Molecular Solids
The weakest intermolecular force is the London dispersion force.
Weak dispersion force is shown by non-polar molecular solid.
Examples of these solids are $H_{2}$ , $I_{2}$ ,and ${CO}_{2}$ .
