Answer

a. Van der Waals dispersion forces b. Van der Waals dispersion forces and dipole-dipole c. Van der Waals dispersion forces and dipole-dipole d. Van der Waals dispersion forces and dipole-dipole e. Van der Waals dispersion forces, hydrogen bonding, and dipole-dipole. f. Van der Waals dispersion forces

Work Step by Step

Hydrogen bonding occurs in molecules with highly electronegative elements specifically F, O, or N that are directly attached to a hydrogen atom. Meanwhile, molecules with oppositely charged dipoles created by the difference of the electronegativity of the atoms have dipole-dipole interactions. Lastly, Van der Waals dispersion forces are present in all molecules as these represent the attraction between instantaneous dipoles in a molecule.
