Best Answer

Dipole interaction will not occur among molecules of PF5 (phosphorus pentafluoride) because the molecule is non-polar. However, dispersion forces will come into play because of the random motion of electrons around the 5 fluorine atoms bonded to the phosphorus. This will result in very brief attractions based upon the "bunching up" of electrons during their random motion. Dispersion forces are the weakest of the inter-molecular forces.

The two forces that are present between molecules of IF5 are dispersion and dipole-dipole interactions forces. Each I-F bond is polar.

What is an intermolecular force?

Intermolecular forces are any forces exerted on neighboring molecules of a given compound. The forces are not the actual chemical bonds present in the substance, but rather the substances own attractiveness to its own molecules. These intermolecular forces play a crucial role in determining a compounds various physical properties such as but not limited to :solubility, melting point, boiling point, density.
