Answer

(a) $CO_{2}$ - Dispersion forces (b) $NH_{3}$ - Dispersion forces, Hydrogen bonding (c) $CHCl_{3}$ - Dispersion forces, Dipole-dipole interactions (d) $CCl_{4}$ - Dispersion forces

Work Step by Step

Dispersion forces are present in all substances and are the strongest forces in non-polar substances. They result from the formation of temporary dipoles. (a) $CO_{2}$ - Dispersion forces - Non-polar molecule (b) $NH_{3}$ - Dispersion forces, Hydrogen bonding - Hydrogen bonding is observed in polar covalent molecules containing Hydrogen bonded to one of the highly electronegative atoms - Nitrogen, Oxygen or Fluorine. (c) $CHCl_{3}$ - Dispersion forces, Dipole-dipole interactions - Polar covalent molecules show dipole-dipole interactions as the partially positively charged atoms of one molecule get electrostatically attracted to the partially negatively charged atoms of another molecule. (d) $CCl_{4}$ - Dispersion forces - Non-polar molecule
