← ScienceWhich consequence results when significant bond polarity exists in molecular oxygen?
A)Increased bond dissociation energy
B)Induced dipole-dipole attractions✓
C)Enhanced triple bond character
D)Reduced intermolecular vibrational coupling
💡 Explanation
Significant bond polarity in diatomic oxygen encourages relatively strong induced dipole-dipole attractions between nonpolar molecules via London dispersion forces; therefore, increasing intermolecular forces occurs, rather than enhanced bond strength because of electronegativity differences like in hydrogen fluoride.
