What types of intermolecular forces do these molecules have?

Any molecule with hydrogen + any of Nitrogen, Oxygen or Fluorine are hydrogen bonds due to the delta positive charges on the hydroge molecules attracting the extremely electronegative N, O, F atoms. Therefore h2o and nhf2 are both hydrogen bondings. I haven't got a periodic table to double check the others, but go do some research to sort it out! Hope that helps anyway
