In nobel gases and symetrical gases like h2 cl2 London dispersion forces are present because they are non polar molecules and forces are formed temperorly between them.....that's why he can be liquified...............in HCl gas weak dipole force will exist.........and in steam weak hydrogen bond.

∙ 15y agoThe forces within an oxygen molecule are irrelevant, all things considered (when those things are the external behaviour of the whole molecule). The external forces are temporary dipoles* and so they are extremely weak. The bonds caused by these forces do not require a lot of energy to break, so oxygen solid/liquid can easily turn to gas (lots of particles moving very fast*) with very low temperature (the mean amount of energy each particle has*). Since they are already separate, it is very hard for them to link back up, because they are going so fast, and when they do are quickly smacked apart by others*; thus the particles stay unconnected, but still close to each other* (because the forces, including gravity, cannot be completely counteracted). *These parts are really quite complicated ideas for most people and take a long time to write down. They are either very concisely and simply described/explained or else ignored.

Why is hydrogen chloride a gas at room temperature and pressure?
because it is held together by weak intermolecular forces
Why is carbon dioxide more soluble in water than oxygen?
The solubility of these non-polar gases depends mostly on London dispersion forces between the water molecules and the gas molecules. Since carbon dioxide is larger (has a higher molecular weight) than methane, it is more polarizable and it therefore has stronger intermolecular forces with water. The strength of intermolecular forces (forces between molecules) is directly related to the solubility of any substance in water.
How are the melting points of ionic compounds different from molecular compounds?
Very much higher.
How do you differentiate between sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide?
The difference between sulphur dioxide and sulphur trioxide is that there are 2 molecules of oxygen present in sulphur dioxide (SO2) and there are 3 molecules of oxygen are present in sulphur trioxide (SO3).
What is attraction between water particles?
football
What is the most important role of hydrogen bonding between water molecules?
The molecules of water are held together by hydrogen bonding between molecules.These are electrostatic bonds (attraction forces between opposite charges) that hydrogen makes with the oxygen of neighbouring molecules. Hydrogen, when bonded to oxygen to form water molecules, is slightly positive and the oxygen in the water molecule is slightly negative. Hydrogen gets attracted to the neighbouring slightly negative oxygen atoms.This is great for life on Earth because small molecules the size of water tend to be gases but water is a liquid. It is a liquid due to the hydrogen bonding between molecules.
The intermolecular force between molecules of oxygen is dipole dipole in nature?
Oxygen is a non polar molecule so its molecules have only Vander waal's forces of attraction.
What type of van der Waals force exists between molecules of oxygen?
Oxygen molecules are not polar, so their are no dipole attractions. Further, there are no hydrogen bonds holding oxygen molecules together. The only real intermolecular force would be dispersion forces.
What type of bond makes water liquid?
Van der Waal forces determine the attractiveness of molecules to others outside of covalent and ionic bonds. For water, the dipole interaction between the slightly + hydrogen end of the molecules are attracted to the slightly - oxygen end.
Why water is a liquid at room temperature related to its polarity?
Molecules with stronger intermolecular forces will have a greater melting and boiling point than those with weaker intermolecular forces. Due to water's polarity it exhibits dipole-diplole interactions between molecules with the positively charged hydrogen atoms from one water molecule aligning with the negatively charged oxygen atoms. These forces are strong enough to keep water in its liquid state up to 100o C.
What is the intermolecular force in SO2?
The type of intermolecular force that holds together Oxygen molecules is called a Van der Waal force. Van der Waal forces exist between all molecules and usually have strengths from 1kJmol-1 to up to 50 kJmol-1.
Why is dioxygen a gas and sulphur a solid?
oxygen is a gas because it is held together by weak van der waals forces acting between the small molecules sulfur usually forms s8 molecules so the van der waals forces acting between the molecules are lager giving it a higher boiling point

Why water is liquid at room temperature give 2 reasons?
The inter molecular hydrogen bonding between oxygen and hydrogen of different water molecules results in the liquid state of water
What is the same between a molecule of ice to a molecule of liquid water?
Both molecules are made up of 2 hydrogen and 1 oxygen, referring to its atoms.
H2O is water but H2 is gas why?
Weather a thing is solid, liquid or gas depends upon the force of the bonds between the molecules, and that depends one temperature and pressure, as well as the particular molecule. In a solid force between molecules is greater as then the forces between molecules of the same material as a liquid, and in a liquid is greater than in a gas. So in the environments most often found on the surface of the earth, hydrogen as a molecule consisting of two hydrogen atoms is always a gas, but water, consisting of two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom, can be solid (ice), liquid (water) or gas (water vapor), depending on the temperature and pressure. when you boil water, you turn the liquid into a gas. When you freeze water, you turn the liquid into a solid.
