(a)
Interpretation: The types of intermolecular forces acting in the liquid state of a given substance are to be discussed.
Concept introduction: Intermolecular forces in the case of nonpolar molecules were discussed by Van der Waal. So, these are also called Van der Waal forces.
(a)
Answer to Problem 59A
Forces will be dispersion forces.
Explanation of Solution
London dispersion forces are the weakest intermolecular forces present between the non-polar molecules. Due to the non-polar nature of argon, it exhibits London forces.

(c)
Answer to Problem 59A
SeO2 is non-polar; hence forces will be dispersion forces.
Explanation of Solution
London dispersion forces are the weakest intermolecular forces present between the non-polar molecules. This is because in
(d)

(d)
Answer to Problem 59A
BF3 molecules exhibit London dispersion forces.
Explanation of Solution
BF3 is a trigonal planar. All the dipole moments cancel resulting in zero dipole moment and hence a non-polar molecule. So, the forces present between them is London dispersion forces.
