There are four type of intermolecular forces: ionic, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bonds and London disperssion forces.
CH4 have no ions, so there are not ionic forces.
CH4 is a symetrical molecule, so there cannot be a net dipole in the molecule, so there is not dipole-dipole interaction.
Hydrogen bonding is only possbile when H is bonded to N, O or F, beacuse they are the atoms that considerable higher electgronegativy than hydrogen.
So, the only intermolecular force present in CH4 molecules is London disperssion forces, which is a force present in any molecule and is the weakiest one. That explains the low melting and boiling points of CH4.
Answer:
B. Electrical charges of polar covalent bonds
Explanation:
Lewis structures, also known as Lewis dot diagrams are diagrams that show the bonding between atoms of a molecule and lone pairs of an electron that may exist in the molecule.
Polar covalent bonds are bonds that occur where a pair of electrons is shared unevenly between two atoms
The Lewis notation as an agreed convection, uses the delta sign to indicate polar covalent bonds when they occur in compounds. It shows that the electrons are shared unevenly.
Consider the example attached below. The Lewis structure for HF is given. the δ+ is used to show the electropositive Hydrogen atom while the δ- is used to show the electronegative Fluorine atom in the bond.
