Question

what type or types of intermolecular forces exist or exists in the molecule below? brf3
london dispersion forces only
dipole dipole only
h - bonding only
london dispersion forces, dipole dipole, & h - bonding
dipole dipole, & h - bonding
london dispersion forces & dipole dipole

Explanation:

1. London - dispersion forces exist in all molecules due to temporary fluctuations in electron distribution.
2. For $BrF_3$, the molecule is polar because of its T - shaped molecular geometry and the electronegativity difference between Br and F. So, dipole - dipole forces are present.
3. Hydrogen bonding occurs when H is bonded to N, O, or F. Since there is no H in $BrF_3$, there is no hydrogen bonding.

Answer:

London Dispersion forces & dipole dipole
