Answer:
H₂S; CO₂; SiH₄
Explanation:
London dispersion forces are larger in molecules that are large and have more atoms or electrons.
A. H₂O or H₂S
H₂S. S is below O in the Periodic Table, so it is the larger atom. Its electrons are more polarizable.
B. CO₂ or CO
CO₂. CO₂ has more atoms. It is also linear, so the molecules can get close to each other and maximize the attractive forces.
C. CH₄ or SiH₄
CH₄. Si is below C in the Periodic Table, so it is the larger atom. Its electrons are more polarizable.
