Electrostatic attraction is when oppositely charged objects are attracted to each other. Intermolecular forces are attractive forces that exist between different molecules

Explanation:

Electrostatic attraction is when oppositely charged objects are attracted to each other. Positively charged objects are attracted to negatively charged objects.

Intermolecular forces are attractive forces that exist between different molecules. For example, water molecules stick to each other because of hydrogen bonding. The attraction is due to electrostatic attraction.

Intermolecular forces include: hydrogen bonding ,dipole-dipole interactions and dispersion (London) forces.

So how are they different?
Electrostatic forces can occur between different objects. A balloon can stick to your head because of electrostatic attraction. In this video, a piece of cloth becomes charged and then flies off the top of the Van de Graaf generator.


kimEffyDean: What about inter ionic attraction?
mangharam: Interionic Attractions are when an ion is surrounded by an ionic atmosphere which has a net charge opposite for its own. For example an anion would be completely surrounded by ions mostly composed of cations and a cation would mostly be surrounded by ions of anions.
kimEffyDean: so...can we say that all these are the same things?
