Answer

• Hydrogen bromide: dispersion and dipole-dipole

,

• Bromine: dispersion

,

• Hypochlorus acid : dispersion, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bond

,

• Molecular oxygen: dispersion

Procedure

The London dispersion force is a temporary attractive force that results when the electrons are in two adjacent atoms. These are the weakest intermolecular forces and exist between all types of molecules, whether ionic or covalent—polar or nonpolar.

Dipole-dipole: occur between polar molecules when the partially positively charged part of a molecule interacts with the partially negatively charged part of another molecule.

A hydrogen bond: is a special kind of dipole-dipole interaction that occurs specifically between a hydrogen atom bonded to an oxygen, nitrogen, or fluorine atom.

Based on the previous:

Hydrogen bromide: dispersion and dipole-dipole

Bromine: dispersion

Hypochlorus acid : dispersion, dipole-dipole, hydrogen bond

Oxygen: dispersion
