Do ionic compounds also have disperson forces? like NaCl?
What about an alloy? would that have disperson forces??/
Thankss in advance

Nope. ionic compounds are bound due to the electrostatic attraction that is produced upon the TRANSFER of an electron. However, for dispersion its just complimentary attraction of parts or a part of two molecules due to fluctuations in the polarization of those parts of the molecule. Its a product of dipole moments. And no alloys wont have dispersion forces.
