Question

what type or types of intermolecular forces exist or exists in the molecule below? cs2
carbon disulfide molecule
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:

1. First, check for H - bonding: H - bonding occurs when H is bonded to N, O, or F. In CS₂, there is no H atom, so no H - bonding.
2. Then, analyze dipole - dipole forces: Although C - S bonds are polar, the linear geometry of CS₂ causes the bond dipoles to cancel out, making the molecule non - polar overall. So, no dipole - dipole forces.
3. Finally, London Dispersion forces are present in all molecules. Since CS₂ is a molecule, it has London Dispersion forces.

Answer:

London Dispersion forces only
