London dispersion forces are a type of intermolecular force. They are relatively weak. They are also called induce-dipole induce-dipole interactions.
* Present in non-polar molecules
* Due to non-systematic electron distribution where one molecule induces a dipole on another molecule
* This is an important factor in very large molecules
* One factor that affects London dispersion forces is polarizability, the ease with which the electron cloud of an atom can be displaced
The only intermolecular forces in this long hydrocarbon will be dispersion forces.
London dispersion forces
Dipole-Dipole and covalent sigma bond forces.
Dispersion forces
Yes, nitrogen can participate in dispersion forces, also known as London dispersion forces. These are weak temporary forces that are caused by the motion of electrons within atoms or molecules. Nitrogen molecules have a symmetrical distribution of electrons, which can result in temporary dipoles and induce dispersion forces.
Yes, CH3CH2CH3 (propane) can experience London dispersion forces. London dispersion forces are weak intermolecular attractive forces that all molecules exhibit due to temporary shifts in electron distribution, resulting in temporary dipoles.
In C6H14 (hexane) and H2O (water), there are London dispersion forces, dipole-dipole interactions, and hydrogen bonding. In HCHO (formaldehyde), there are dipole-dipole interactions and London dispersion forces. In C6H5OH (phenol), there are hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interactions, and London dispersion forces.

The substance with a larger molecular mass will generally have larger dispersion forces. Additionally, molecules with more surface area tend to have stronger dispersion forces.
