Question

what type or types of intermolecular forces exist or exists in the molecule below? ch4 london dispersion forces only dipole dipole only h bonding only london dispersion forces, dipole dipole, & h bonding dipole dipole, & h bonding london dispersion forces & dipole dipole ionic bonding only london dispersion forces & ionic bonding none of these

Explanation:

Methane ($CH_4$) is a non - polar molecule. Non - polar molecules only exhibit London Dispersion forces. Dipole - dipole forces occur in polar molecules, and hydrogen bonding occurs when hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative atom (N, O, F). In $CH_4$, the C - H bonds have low electronegativity differences and the molecule is symmetric, so it is non - polar.

Answer:

A. London Dispersion forces only
