(a) CH₄

The molecule of methane is non polar in nature, hence it will show only the dispersion forces.

(b) NO₂

The molecule of nitrogen dioxide will show both dipole-dipole interactions and dispersion forces as well.

Since, the molecule is has an electronegative atom, i. e., oxygen, so will show dipole - dipole interactions.

(c) SO₂

The molecule of sulfur dioxide will show both dipole-dipole interactions and dispersion forces as well.

Since, the molecule is has an electronegative atom, i. e., oxygen, so will show dipole - dipole interactions.
