What type(s) of intermolecular forces exist between the following pairs: (a) HBr and H₂S,(b) Cl₂ and CBr₄

What type(s) of intermolecular forces exist between the following pairs: (a) HBr and H₂S,
(b) Cl₂ and CBr₄

---

(a) Both HBr and H₂S are polar molecules.

Therefore, the intermolecular forces present are dipole-dipole forces, as well as dispersion forces.
(b) Both Cl₂ and Br₄ are nonpolar, so there are only dispersion forces between these molecules.
