Question

Strength of London dispersion forces depends upon:
a) Size of atom
b) Covalent bond
c) ionic bond
d) nature of compound ​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Size of atoms.

Explanation:

Larger and heavier atoms and molecules exhibit stronger dispersion forces than smaller and lighter ones. In a larger atom or molecule, the valence electrons are, on average, farther from the nuclei than in a smaller atom or molecule. They are less tightly held and can more easily form temporary dipoles.
