Answer #1

CF4 and OF2 have London dispersion bonds. This is because in these two molecules, the electronegativity faces opposite directions in both bonds and the forces cancel out.

NF3 is held with dipole dipole forces. Because of its pyramidal shape, the forces don't cancel out and it remains a dipole.

F2 is held by van der waals forces or temporary dipole.

Permanent dipole is present in NF3.
