Question

What type of intermolecular force of attraction is found in `CO_2`?

Answer 1

Well, intermolecular forces specifies the force between molecules...and not the force within molecules.

Explanation:

Just to retire this question, carbon dioxide is molecular...and consists of individual `CO_2` units with formal double bonds, and `sp-"hybridization,"` i.e. `:stackrel(ddot)O=C=stackrel(ddot)O:`. How would we describe the hybridization of the oxygen atoms?

But the question inquires with respect to the intermolecular force, the FORCE between molecules. The carbon dioxide molecule is NON-POLAR so only weak dispersion forces operate...
