Question

What types of forces exist between molecules of co2?

Answer 1

Dear friend,

Kindly mark the answer as brainliest if you find it useful.

Here's what you were looking for:

The CO2 has two polar bonds in opposite direction, and hence their resultant cancels out each other. So, despite containing polar bonds the molecule is non polar and therefore the only inter molecular forces are London Dispersion Forces ( Instantaneous Induced Dipole).

London Dispersion Forces :

In non polar as well as polar molecules, electron cloud is not symmetrically distributed all the time. At a particular instant electron cloud is distorted to generate instantaneous dipole which induces the neighboring dipolar nature to establish a weak interaction, known as London Dispersion Forces.

Hope this clears your doubt.✌
