Q
What intermolecular forces exist for noble gases
A
- london dispersion forces
- > if it weren’t for them
- > noble gases would not liquefy at any temperature
2
Q
When do dipole-dipole interactions become negligible
A
- they become negligible in the gas phase
- > because of the significantly increased distance between gas particles
-tend to have higher melting/boiling points than non-polar species
