The dominant intermolecular force that causes gaseous hcl molecules to attract one another is

Dipole-dipole attractions

Explanation:

The Cl atom is more electronegative than H, so it attracts the electrons in the H-Cl bond more to itself.

The Cl end of the molecule becomes partially negative (δ-), and the H end becomes more positive (δ+). This separation of charge is called an electric dipole,

When two HCl molecules are near each other, they arrange themselves so that the negative and positive ends of the dipoles line up and attract the two molecules together.

The activity series is shown in the attached picture. if the element is below the other, then you can displace the other. following the activity series as a guide, the reactions are as follows: nickel and aluminum chloride3 ni + 2 alcl₃  → 3 nicl₂ + 2 albarium and copper bromideba + cubr  →  no reaction because cu is less oxidizable than bapotassium nitrate and aluminum3 kno₃ + al  → al(no₃)₃ + 3 ksodium phosphate and zincnaso₄ + zn  → znso₄ + na

The total number of electrons is 14
