Question

Nature of binding forces present in carbon dioxide molecules in solid state are ____________.

Options

• Electrostatic forces

• Hydrogen bonding

• London forces

• Metallic forces

Answer 1

Nature of binding forces present in carbon dioxide molecules in solid state are London forces.

Explanation:

The atoms or molecules of carbon dioxide molecules in solid form are kept together by mild dispersion forces or London forces. These solids are non-conductors of electricity and are squishy. They have low melting points and, at room temperature and pressure, are frequently liquid or gaseous.
