What intermolecular forces does iodine have?
Are there any other types of intermolecular forces besides van der Waals dispersion forces?
Yes, there are other types of intermolecular forces such as dipole-dipole interactions and hydrogen bonding. Dipole-dipole interactions occur between polar molecules and involve the attraction between the positive end of one molecule and the negative end of another. Hydrogen bonding is a special type of dipole-dipole interaction that occurs between molecules where hydrogen is covalently bonded to a highly electronegative element such as nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine.
