Question

which representation best shows the formation of an instantaneous dipole moment between two nonpolar molecules? a) b) c) d)

Explanation:

Instantaneous dipole - moment in non - polar molecules is formed due to the temporary uneven distribution of electrons. In this case, the opposite charges of the dipoles in the two non - polar molecules should be close to each other to show the attractive force due to the instantaneous dipole. Option a shows the positive end of one dipole close to the negative end of the other dipole, which represents the formation of an instantaneous dipole - moment between two non - polar molecules.

Answer:

A. a)
