What role do electrons play in creating intermolecular forces?

The electrons repel positively charged molecules

Electron movement creates partial charges in different regions of molecules

They don't play any role

Electrons prevent dipole dipole interactions

Answer:

Electron movement creates partial charges in different regions of molecules.  

Explanation:

The electrons play a role in the creation of London forces, which are intermolecular forces produced by the movement of the electrons in the atoms and molecules. The distribution of electrons will produce the formation of a temporary dipole, generating a partial charge in the atoms, which can induce a dipole into a subsequent atom (creating again partial charge), and so on.

Hence, the correct option is the second option: Electron movement creates partial charges in different regions of molecules.                      

I hope it helps you!

The role played by electrons in creating intermolecular forces is that electron movement creates partial charges in different regions of molecules.

Molecules are held together by intermolecular forces. There are several kinds of intermolecular forces such as;

  • Dipole - dipole interaction
  • Dispersion forces
  • Hydrogen bonding etc

In all the kinds of intermolecular interactions mentioned above, interaction between molecules is made possible by movement of electrons which creates temporary or permanent dipoles in molecules due to partial charges in different regions of molecules.
