IDENTIFYING INTERMOLECULAR FORCES

Identify the likely kinds of intermolecular forces in the following substances:

(a) HCl (b) $CH_{3}CH_{3}$ (c) $CH_{3}NH_{2}$ (d) Kr

STRATEGY
Look at the structure of each substance, and decide what intermolecular forces are present. All molecules have dispersion forces; polar molecules have dipole–dipole forces; and molecules with O–H, N–H, or F–H bonds have hydrogen bonds.
