A certain intermolecular force is created due to a brief concentration of electrons between nonpolar molecules. What best explains the strength of this intermolecular force?

A. Very strong, because it is a result of interactions between highly polar molecules

B. Weak because it is a result of the interaction between ions and polarized molecules

C. Very strong because it is a result of interactions between symmetrical molecules causing canceling of dipoles

D. Weak because it is a result of interactions between molecules with instantaneous dipoles

    The correct answer is D

    Explanation:

    Many substances hold their molecules together in the liquid or solid bosom. This is due, in addition to the pressure and temperature conditions, by the forces of Van der Waals. These are still produced in nonpolar molecules by the movement of electrons through the molecules; in extremely short periods of time, their electrons "charge" towards one end of the molecule, producing small dipoles and keeping the molecules very close to each other.
