    Re: intermolecular forces chem as hydrogen bonding
    For hydrogen bonding to occur you need two things:

    1) a positively charged "donor" hydrogen
    2) an electronegative element "acceptor"

    In CH3F whilst the Fluorine is a good H bond acceptor none of the hydrogens are sufficiently d+ to give strong H-bonds.
