Question

what type of intermolecular forces is/are present in br2? br2 :br - br: london dispersion forces only dipole - dipole forces only london dispersion forces and dipole - dipole forces dipole - dipole and hydrogen bonding dipole - dipole, hydrogen bonding, and london dispersion forces ionic ionic and london dispersion forces

Explanation:

Br₂ is a non - polar molecule as the two bromine atoms have the same electronegativity, resulting in an equal sharing of electrons. London dispersion forces are present in all molecules due to temporary dipoles caused by the motion of electrons. Since Br₂ is non - polar, there are no dipole - dipole forces (which occur in polar molecules) and no hydrogen bonding (which requires a hydrogen atom bonded to a highly electronegative atom like N, O, or F). Also, Br₂ is a covalent compound, so there are no ionic forces.

Answer:

London Dispersion Forces only
