Which phenomenon results when a nonpolar molecule approaches another?

💡 Explanation

A temporary dipole is induced because fleeting fluctuations in electron distribution causes slight charge imbalances. Therefore, an induced dipole moment develops, rather than ionization, heating, or radical formation, from proximity alone.
