Intermolecular Forces: Building Blocks Of Molecular Interactions
Intermolecular forces hold molecules together, while intramolecular forces hold atoms within a molecule together. Intermolecular forces are weaker than intramolecular forces. Intermolecular forces include van der Waals forces, dipole-dipole forces, and hydrogen bonding. Intramolecular forces include covalent bonds, ionic bonds, and metallic bonds. The strength of these forces determines the physical properties of matter. Forces … Read more
