← ScienceWhich consequence results when asymmetric charge clouds form within a homogenous molecular geometry?
A)Dipole moment becomes temporarily induced✓
B)London dispersion forces are disrupted
C)Covalent bond strength is unaffected
D)Ionic bonds begin dominating present
💡 Explanation
A temporary dipole moment arises because uneven distributions of electrons—charge cloud asymmetry—result in temporary partial charges on the molecule through London dispersion forces. Therefore, there's dipole induction, rather than the disruption of dispersion forces at equilibrium, with other bond types unaffected.
