The larger the molecules of a substance, the the London forces between them. A larger molecule has more electrons and a greater
of having its electron cloud distorted from its nonpolar shape. Thus instantaneous dipoles are more likely to form in larger molecules. The electron clouds in larger molecules are also larger, so the average distance between the nuclei and the electrons is greater; as a result, the electrons are held and shift more easily to create a dipole. True / False.
All the above statements buttress the fact that the larger molecule, the greater the magnitude of London forces between the molecules. Each of the statements above is a confirmation/explanation of this general rule.
