Identify the statement that is true for London forces.

This question was previously asked in
SSC Selection Post 2022 Matriculation Level Question Paper (02-Aug-2022) (Shift-4)
The correct answer is

These forces are always attractive, and the interaction energy is inversely proportional to the sixth power of the distance between two interacting particles.

The correct answer is These forces are always attractive, and the interaction energy is inversely proportional to the sixth power of the distance between two interacting particles.

Their energy dependence is proportional to $1/r^6$. London Dispersion Forces: Occur between all molecules (polar and nonpolar) due to instantaneous dipoles. Their energy dependence is also proportional to $1/r^6$. While dipole-dipole forces are generally stronger than London forces for molecules of comparable size and shape, London forces become increasingly significant for larger molecules with more electrons, as they are more polarizable.
