SiF4 (silicon tetrafluoride) is a nonpolar molecule due to its symmetrical tetrahedral shape, which causes the dipole moments of the Si-F bonds to cancel out. As a result, SiF4 primarily exhibits London dispersion forces, which are weak intermolecular forces arising from temporary dipoles. It does not have significant dipole-dipole interactions, as these require a net dipole moment in the molecule.
