All molecules exhibit London dispersion forces.

37)
Molecules retain a substantial amount of intermolecular interactions during the transition from the solid to the liquid
phase (= melting). However, during the transition from the liquid to the gas phase (= vaporization), essentially all
intermolecular forces must be broken, which requires a lot more energy.

38)
X-rays are commonly used in X-ray crystallography because the spacing between atoms in a crystalline solid is about the
same as the wavelength of X-rays, making difraction most efcient.

39)
Carbon tetrachloride is signifcantly larger than chloroform, and larger molecules tend to have greater polarizabilities
because they have a greater number of electrons and their electrons are further from the nuclei. Thus, London dispersion
forces between carbon tetrachloride molecules raises its boiling point above that of chloroform even though chloroform
experiences both London dispersion and dipole-dipole forces.
