@TypicalNerd Just in case I got it wrong.

But I'm pretty sure that London forces are present in all alkanes.

They are.

They’re present in basically every substance, since they arise from the movement of electrons in one molecule repelling electrons in another, leading to temporary zones of charge (dipoles).
