What types of intermolecular force is present in alkanes?

Alkanes only interact with each other via London Dispersion, also known as induced-dipole induced-dipole, forces. Since alkanes do not contain any atoms other than Carbon and Hydrogen, they are non-polar. However, as the electrons move freely about their orbital, some temporary polarity is formed.

These induced dipoles can interact with each other to create intermolecular bonding between non-polar alkanes. The more surface area the alkane has, the stronger these forces will be.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
