CBSE Class 11-science Answered
Non-polar molecules do not have dipoles like polar molecules but still they form solids or liquids. Explain

Expert Answer
- Atoms of non-polar molecules are electrically symmetrical.
- But unsymmetrical charge distribution takes place due to the rapid motion of electrons; a momentary accumulation of electron density occurs on one side of the atom. This causes the development of temporary instantaneous dipole on the atom.
- This temporary dipole formed in one atom or molecules induces a dipole in the other atom. The temporary dipoles of both the atoms attract each other and this temporary force of attraction between two temporary dipoles is known as London force.
- As a result of this force, the non-polar molecules also form solids or liquids.
