<span>Two scientists wrote a paper detailing their research and conclusions and submitted it to a scientific journal. Several months later, they received the paper back from the publisher with many comments attached from several fellow scientists. It is either that they revise their study or replicate the study. Most scientists would revisit their work and the findings they had from their research. Most probable if they were successful and the comments of the publisher and the co-scientists were positive they could replicate the study to validate its accountability.<span>

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>
You can define an element as a substance with only one type of atom in
(e.g. only sulphur atoms). If a substance has more than one type of atom
in, then it is either a compound or a mixture, depending on whether the
elements have bonded. Examples of elements are:
Oxygen
Sulphur
Carbon
Hydrogen
Protactinium
Compound-
A substance made up of atoms of two or more different elements joined by chemical bounds.
Molecule- a pure substance that cannot be broken down
Salt- A Ionic Compound Formed From The Reaction Of An Acid And Base .
