What type of intermolecular force occurs between all substances?

Question

Covalent bonding
Hydrogen bonding
Ion-dipole force
London dispersion force

Answer 1

The type of intermolecular force that occurs between all substances is London dispersion force. These forces arise from temporary dipoles that occur when electrons are distributed asymmetrically around an atom or molecule, leading to a momentary attraction between particles. All molecules, regardless of whether they are polar or nonpolar, experience London dispersion forces.
