What determines the strength of a dipole-dipole force? O A. The more polar the molecules, the stronger the force.
OB. The more hydrogen in the molecule, the stronger the force.
C. The larger the atomic radius, the stronger the force.
O D. The more symmetrical the molecule, the stronger the force.

Dipole-dipole forces occur between molecules with permanent dipoles (i.e., polar molecules). For molecules of similar size and mass, the strength of these forces increases with increasing polarity. Polar molecules can also induce dipoles in nonpolar molecules, resulting in dipole-induced dipole forces

Explanation:

linda: 3 ; laura: 15

step-by-step explanation:

note that linda + laura's age is 18, and that linda is 12 years younger than her sister.

let "linda" = x , "laura" = y:

x + y = 18

x = y - 12

first, plug in y - 12 for x in the first equation:

(y - 12) + y = 18

simplify.

2y - 12 = 18

isolate the variable (y). note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. do the opposite of pemdas. first add, then divide.

2y - 12 (+12) = 18 (+12)

2y = 18 + 12

2y = 30

(2y)/2 = (30)/2

y = 30/2

y = 15

next, plug in 15 for y in the second equation (the other equation would work too).

x = y - 12

x = (15) - 12

x = 3

linda's age is 3, laura's age is 15.
