**Notes:**

- **Dispersion Forces:** Also known as London dispersion forces, these are weak intermolecular forces that result from temporary shifts in the density of electrons in electron clouds.
- **Dipole Forces:** These occur between molecules that have permanent dipoles.
- **Hydrogen Bonding:** A strong type of dipole-dipole interaction that occurs when hydrogen is bonded to a highly electronegative atom (e.g., oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine). 

Use this table to understand how different molecular structures influence the type of intermolecular forces present.

Expert Solution
Step 1

To check the type of intermolecular forces, we need to know the nature of molecules as polar or non-polar. 

This is because , 

Dispersion forces exist in all type of compounds . But this is the only forces in non-polar compounds. 

Dipole forces exist in polar compounds. 

Hydrogen bonding exist in compounds which have hydrogen attached to O, N and F .
