The correct Answer is:
**Step-by-Step Solution:** 1. **Understanding London Dispersion Forces**: - London dispersion forces are a type of intermolecular force that arise due to the temporary fluctuations in electron density within molecules. These fluctuations can create temporary dipoles, which induce dipoles in neighboring molecules. 2. **Identifying Characteristics**: - London dispersion forces are the weakest of all intermolecular forces. - They are present in all molecules, but they are particularly significant in non-polar molecules where other types of intermolecular forces (like dipole-dipole interactions or hydrogen bonding) are absent. 3. **Recognizing the Types of Molecules**: - Non-polar molecules do not have a permanent dipole moment. Examples include noble gases (like helium, neon), diatomic molecules (like O2, N2), and hydrocarbons (like methane, CH4). 4. **Conclusion**: - Since London dispersion forces are primarily significant in non-polar molecules, the correct answer to the question "London Dispersion force is present between:" is that they are present between non-polar molecules. 5. **Final Answer**: - Therefore, the correct option is **B** (assuming option B refers to non-polar molecules). ---

    The measure of net molecular polarity is a quantity called dipole moment which is defined as the magnitude of the charge Q at either end of the molecular dipole times the distance 'r' between the charge : mu=Qxxr Molecular polarities give rise to some of the forces that occur between molecules.Such forces are termed as intermolecular forces.These molecular forces are of several different types including dipole-dipole forces, London dispersion forces, hydrogen bonds and ion-dipole forces (operate between ions and molecules).These intermolecular forces are electrical in origin and results from the mutual attraction of unlike charges or the mutual repulsion of like charges. A formal positive charge on the central atom affect the size of orbitals.A formal positive charge on central atom will pull in all electrons towards the nucleus and this will leads to the contraction in size of orbitals. Select the correct statement.
