Dispersion forces are formed between two non-polar molecules. These molecules form temporary dipoles. This creates a weak force. Dipole Dipole forces have a permanent dipole. That is the basic explanation
Iodine is a solid because it is a large molecule that allows the electron cloud to be easily distorted to generate dipole moments allowing the molecules to attract each other significantly.
No, they are only temporary. Definition: A dipole temporarily created in an otherwise nonpolar molecule, induced by a neighboring charge.
Because it is the result of a temporary dipole
All polar molecules have a permanent dipole moment, but London dispersion forces in non-polar molecules can cause temporary dipole moments as well.
A temporary dipole occurs when through a cloud type formation, randomly electrons gather at one location. A permanent dipole is when one atom attracts more electrons effectively giving it a negative charge. Both conditions can exist at the same time.
london dispersion forces:) both iodine and hexane are non-polar meaning that the dominant IMF in each of them is the LDF. therefore the non-polar solute-non-polar solvent interaction would be LDF.

they form temporary, weak dipole attractions between molecules
Yes, Iodine is soluble in glycerol. Although keep in my that Iodine is nonpolar because it has no dipole charges, but Glycerol is in fact polar. This is most likely explained by the polar and nonpolar tendencies of Glycerol.

No, London forces are not occurred by the dipoles, they are formed with the temporary asymmetrical distribution of the electron clouds of molecules. For example, bromine molecules have only London forces between them.
The London dispersion force is considered as the weakest intermolecular force. The production of an instantaneous dipole in London dispersion is only temporary.
