Question

Identify the major attractive force in HF molecules.A) London Dispersion Forces (LDFs)

Answer 1

Answer:

C) hydrogen bonding

Explanation:

All atoms and molecules have London Dispersion Forces between them, but they are usually overshadowed but the much stronger forces. In this scenario the major attractive force in HF molecules are hydrogen bonds. Hydrogen bonds are electrostatic forces of attraction found when Hydrogen is bonded to a more electronegative atom such as Oxygen, Chlorine and Fluorine.
