Chemical formulas are used to describe the types of atoms and their numbers in an element or compound. The atoms of each element are represented by one or two different letters. When more than one atom of a specific element is found in a molecule, a subscript is used to indicate this in the chemical formula.

For this question, I think it is the other way around. It is true that chloroacetic acid is stronger in strength than acetic acid. Acid strength is measured as the equilibrium constant of the reaction <span>HA -----> H+ + A-
</span><span> In acetic acid, the anion produced by dissociation is CH3-COO-; in chloroacetic acid it is CH2Cl-COO-. Comparing the two, in the first one the negative charge is taken up mostly by the two oxygen atoms. In the second there is also an electronegative chlorine atom nearby to draw more charge towards itself. Therefore, the charge is less concentrated in the chloroacetate ion than it is in the acetate ion, and, accordingly, chloroacetic acid is stronger than acetic acid. </span>
Answer:
dipole-dipole
Explanation:
Intermolecular forces exists between the molecules of a substance in a particular state of matter.
The type of intermolecular forces present in a substance is determined by the electronegativity difference between the atoms that compose the substance.
There is a non zero electronegativity difference between Br and F hence the molecule is polar and the intermolecular forces between the molecules of BrF are dipole-dipole forces.
