London dispersion forces were named after the German physicist Fritz London, who first described them in 1930. These forces arise from temporary fluctuations in electron density within molecules, leading to induced dipole attractions between them. While London contributed significantly to the understanding of these forces, earlier work by scientists like Johannes Diderik van der Waals also laid the foundation for their eventual recognition.
The only intermolecular forces in this long hydrocarbon will be 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.
Yes, CH4 (methane) does exhibit London dispersion forces due to temporary fluctuations in electron distribution around the molecule. These dispersion forces are the weakest intermolecular forces and are responsible for the non-polar nature of methane.
London forces
I think it is the German-American physicist Fritz London :)
weakest to strongest: they are in this order: London dispersion, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonding, ionic
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.
Yes, CH3NH2, also known as methylamine, can exhibit London dispersion forces. London dispersion forces are present in all molecules to some extent, as they are caused by temporary fluctuations in electron density that induce weak attraction between molecules.
