Question:

Which intermolecular force is most responsible in allowing xenon gas to liquefy?

Instantaneous dipole- induced dipole

Ion - dipole

Ionic

Dipole - dipole

Solution:

Instantaneous dipole- induced dipole is the inter-molecular force which is most responsible in allowing xenon gas to liquefy. Xenon is a nonpolar gas. An instantaneous dipole is created in one Xe molecule which induces a dipole in another Xe molecule.
