Which of the following intermolecular forces best describes why molecules like CF₃CF₃ are soluble in liquid CO₂? A)dipole-dipole B)induced dipole-induced dipole C)dipole-induced dipole D)ion-dipole E)hydrogen bonding

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The molecules described are non-polar, and COS is also non-polar. Non-polar molecules dissolve in non-polar solvents due to induced dipole-induced dipole (London dispersion) forces, which are the weakest intermolecular forces present between non-polar molecules.
