A land developer and several ecologists are discussing how a parcel of private land should be developed with housing while saving 20 hectares as natural habitat. The land developer suggests that the 20 hectares be divided into 20 separate 1-hectare areas, spread out across the area. The ecologists suggest that it would be better to have one intact parcel of 20 hectares on one side of the larger area. What is the significance of these different arrangements of the 20 hectares?

As atom "A" approaches, the electrons of atom "B" will be attracted by the positive end of atom "A". As a result, the electrons of atom "B" will migrate to the left side and make the left side slightly negative. This phenomenon can be explained by

Choose the correct statement regarding the Spontaneous dipole - induced dipole interaction 

1. Spontaneous dipole - induced dipole interaction are also known as dispersion or London forces related to orientation effect.

2. The potential energy of an induced dipole-induced dipole interaction is depending on the first ionization energy of the molecule

3. Spontaneous dipole - induced dipole interactions are large networks of intermolecular forces between nonpolar and non-charged molecules and atoms (i.e. alkanes, noble gases, and halogens)

4. In Spontaneous dipole - induced dipole interaction a small increase in the radius, would greatly decrease the potential energy of the interaction.
