Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Intermolecular forces occur between molecules, affecting properties like boiling and melting points, and can be present in solids, liquids, and gases, not just liquids. They are generally weaker than intramolecular forces, which hold atoms together within a molecule, and do not require the presence of hydrogen atoms, although hydrogen bonding is a specific type of strong intermolecular force.
