Intermolecular Forces

Aakshi Kainthola

 Intermolecular forces (or secondary forces) are the forces that mediate interactions between molecules, such as forces of attraction or repulsion between atoms and other types of nearby particles, such as atoms or ions. In comparison to intramolecular forces, which hold a molecule together, intermolecular forces are weak. Intermolecular forces are of following types: • Hydrogen Bonding • Ionic Bonding • Ion-Induced diapole forces • Ion diapole forces • Van der Waals forces
