Arrange the following molecules according to the strength of their dispersion forces. Organize in order from largest to smallest

ki77a [65]

Explanation:

The weak intermolecular forces which can arise either between nucleus and electrons or between electron-electron are known as dispersion forces. These forces are also known as London dispersion forces and these are temporary in nature.

Therefore, more is the surface area occupied by the carbon chain more will be the dispersion forces present in it. Hence, less is the surface area occupied by a molecule less will be the dispersion forces present in it.

Hence, the given molecules are organized from largest to smallest dispersion forces as follows.

$CH_{3}CH(CH_{3})C(CH_{3})_{2}CH_{2}CH_{3}$ > $CH_{3}CH_{2}(CH_{2})_{4}CH_{2}CH_{3}$ > $CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{2}CH_{2}CH_{3}$ > $CH_{3}C(CH_{3})2CH_{3}$ > $CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{3}$ > $CH4$
