Why does H2Te have stronger LDF's compared to H20?
Doesn't water have hydrogen bonding as well? Which would make it stronger than H2Te...
Thanks!

London dispersion forces are not the same thing as hydrogen bonds. What molecular property correlates with the strength of London forces?

So it is between non-polar molecules/atoms? And increases as atomic and molecular size increases?

London forces occur between all molecules, polar and nonpolar. They correlate with surface area of a molecule (I am not sure how perfect the correlation is).
