THANK YOU

To determine the intermolecular forces between molecules, you need to consider the types of atoms, shapes of molecules, and polarities.

a. H2S (Hydrogen sulfide): Hydrogen sulfide is a polar molecule due to the difference in electronegativity between hydrogen and sulfur. It exhibits dipole-dipole interactions. Additionally, it can also have weak London dispersion forces.

b. H2O (Water): Water is a polar molecule due to the bent shape of the molecule and the difference in electronegativity between hydrogen and oxygen. It exhibits strong hydrogen bonding (a special type of dipole-dipole interaction) between the oxygen of one molecule and the hydrogen of another molecule.

c. O2 (Oxygen): Oxygen is a nonpolar molecule since it is made up of two oxygen atoms with equal electronegativity. It exhibits weak London dispersion forces.

d. SiH4 (Silane): Silane is a nonpolar molecule since it has a symmetrical tetrahedral shape and the silicon and hydrogen atoms have similar electronegativities. It exhibits weak London dispersion forces.

e. HCl (Hydrogen chloride): Hydrogen chloride is a polar molecule with a dipole moment. It exhibits strong dipole-dipole interactions.

f. CH3Cl (Chloromethane): Chloromethane is a polar molecule due to the difference in electronegativity between carbon, hydrogen, and chlorine. It exhibits dipole-dipole interactions and can also have weak London dispersion forces.

g. CO2 (Carbon dioxide): Carbon dioxide is a nonpolar molecule since it has a linear shape and the carbon-oxygen double bonds are arranged symmetrically. It exhibits weak London dispersion forces.

h. NH3 (Ammonia): Ammonia is a polar molecule due to the difference in electronegativity between nitrogen and hydrogen. It exhibits strong hydrogen bonding between the hydrogen of one molecule and the lone pair of electrons on the nitrogen atom of another molecule.
