B) London dispersion forces.
C) hydrogen bonding.
D) covalent bonding.
E) intramolecular forces.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

At a temperature of 27 K, neon is in a gaseous state. Since neon is a noble gas, it does not have dipole moments or hydrogen bonding. It also does not have covalent bonding since it exists as individual atoms. Therefore, the only intermolecular force that can cause neon to condense is London dispersion forces.
