The main type of intermolecular forces between particles of hydrogen (H2)are ________.
A)ionic bonds
B)hydrogen bonds
C)polar covalent
D)dipole-dipole attractions
E)dispersion forces

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hydrogen molecule (H2) is a non-polar molecule and does not have a permanent dipole moment. Therefore, the only type of intermolecular force that is present between the H2 particles is the dispersion force or London dispersion force. This force arises due to the temporary fluctuations in the electron density of the molecule, creating temporary dipoles that attract other neighboring molecules.
