What is intermolecularforces of the following, please write all of those

Question

intermolecular forces Of Brf5, ccl4, becl2, so2, po4

Answer 1

First of all, I must assume that PO₄ is actually (PO₄)^2-, the phosphate ion, since no PO₄ molecule exists. Thus, any intermolecular forces would arise between the ion and what it might be formed in, such as when a soluble phosphate is dissolved in water. That would lead to ion-dipole forces.

As for the others, they are all molecular compounds and would all possess London Dispersion Forces (LDFs). Of those, all but the SO₂ are symmetrical, so they are not polar. Hence, they possess only LDFs. The SO₂ is a bent molecule and would be polar so, in addition to its LDFs it would also display dipole-dipole interactions.
