Is there a relationship between molar mass and london dispersion forces?

Answer 1

Paisley Boney

The higher the molar mass, the stronger the LDF.

High molar mass #=># large electron cloud

#=>#Easy to polarize #=># Strong LDF

Yes, there is a relationship between molar mass and London dispersion forces. Generally, molecules with higher molar masses have more electrons and larger electron clouds, leading to stronger London dispersion forces.
