How can you determine the intermolecular forces of CHCl3?

Chloroform has a distinct dipole moment. See Chloroform (data page) - Wikipedia.

In that instance, the dominant intermolecular force will be dipole-dipole interactions. That’s because it is a stronger type of intermolecular force than the alternatives of ionic bonding (there are no ions) and hydrogen bonding (the only stronger intermolecular force) are not applicable for chloroform.
