Question

In carbon dioxide, London dispersion forces are the only intermolecular forces of

attraction.
a. TRUE
b. FALSE

Answer 1

true

Step-by-step explanation:

CO has two C-O bonds. The dipoles point in opposite directions, so they cancel each other out. Thus, although CO₂ has polar bonds, it is a nonpolar molecule. Therefore, the only intermolecular forces are London dispersion forces.
