Differentiate between intermolecular and intramolecular forces

Answers

Intermolecular forces are the attractive or repulsive forces between molecules. These forces influence the physical characteristics of a substance, such as boiling point, vapor pressure, and melting point. Examples of intermolecular forces include hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interactions, and London forces. Intramolecular forces, also known as bonding forces, are the attractive or repulsive forces that operate within a molecule. These forces determine the structure, stability, and reactivity of the molecule and are often responsible for the formation of various chemical bonds, such as ionic, covalent and metallic bonds. Examples of intramolecular forces include covalent bonding, hydrogen bonding, van der Waals forces, dipole-dipole interactions, and London forces
