what type of intermolecular forces are in hf
As a result, the strongest type of intermolecular interaction between molecules of these substances is the London dispersion force . Due to the fact that the polar bonds do not cancel in the remaining molecules, they exhibit dipole - dipole interactions: these are stronger than London dispersion forces. However, #HF# exhibits hydrogen bonding - a stronger force still that is similar to the dipole - dipole interaction - whilst #CHF_3# does not. Thus, strength of intermolecular forces between molecules of each of these substances can be expressed, in terms of strength, as: #CF_4 = OF_2 < CHF_3 < HF#.
