Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Metals are the substances which donate electrons to complete their octet. They are malleable and ductile in nature. They are able to conduct heat and electricity. Metals have shiny surface and sonorous in nature.

Metals are placed at the left and middle of periodic table.

Whereas non-metals are the substances which accept electrons to complete their octet. They are poor conductors of heat and electricity. They are brittle and non-sonorous in nature.

Non-metals are placed at the right of periodic table.

Hence, we can conclude that right or middle of the table because it is a metal best explains the probable position of the substance in the periodic table.

Which of the following molecules would exhibit only London forces?a)CH4, BH3, and CCl4b)H2O, NH3, and CCl4c)PH3, NH3, and CCl4
Alex787 [66]

Answer:

a)CH₄, BH₃, and CCl₄

Explanation:

<u>London dispersion forces:- </u>

The bond for example, in the molecule is F-F, which is non-polar in nature because the two fluorine atoms have same electronegativity values.

The intermolecular force acting in the molecule are induced dipole-dipole forces or London Dispersion forces / van der Waals forces which are the weakest intermolecular force.

Out of the given options, H₂O , NH₃ exhibits hydrogen bonding which is:-

<u>Hydrogen bonding:- </u>

Hydrogen bonding is a special type of the dipole-dipole interaction and it occurs between hydrogen atom that is bonded to highly electronegative atom which is either fluorine, oxygen or nitrogen atom.

Thus option B and C rules out.

<u>Hence, the correct option which represents the molecules which would exhibit only London forces is:- a)CH₄, BH₃, and CCl₄</u>
