Silicon tetrachloride (SiCl4) exhibits dipole-dipole interactions due to its polar covalent bonds between silicon and chlorine. Additionally, it experiences London dispersion forces, which are present in all molecules, regardless of polarity. However, SiCl4 is a nonpolar molecule overall because of its symmetrical tetrahedral shape, leading to the cancellation of dipole moments. Thus, the primary intermolecular forces in SiCl4 are London dispersion forces.
