Hello there! I was wondering whether a molecule can exist without London dispersion forces. I know they exist all the time between molecules but is there a situation or scenario where they do not?

Hey there! No matter what, there will always be London dispersion forces between all molecules. However, they are most prominent between polar molecules, nonpolar molecules, and anything with a dipole moment.
