Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The first molecule, Cl₂, is nonpolar and therefore only experiences dispersion forces. The second molecule, CO₃^-2, contains a polar bond between the oxygen and sulfur atoms. This polar bond creates a dipole moment and allows for ion-induced dipole forces to also be present. Therefore, the intermolecular forces between these two molecules are dispersion forces and ion-induced dipole forces.
