The intermolecular forces (IMF) of silicon tetrabromide (SiBr4) are primarily London dispersion forces, which are weak attractions that arise due to the temporary dipoles formed when electron clouds fluctuate. SiBr4 is a nonpolar molecule due to its symmetrical tetrahedral shape, resulting in an even distribution of electron density. While dipole-dipole interactions do not play a significant role in SiBr4, the relatively large size and polarizability of bromine atoms enhance the strength of the London dispersion forces compared to smaller molecules.
