Question

intermolecular force versus thermal energy

Answer 1

Inter-molecular Forces vs. ThermalInteractions. ... Whereas thermal energy is the measure of the sum of the kinetic energy of the individual molecules and particles. So the inter-molecular force ofattraction keeps the particles together while the thermalinteractions (kinetic energy) make them move apart

Answer 2

Inter-molecular force is the attractive force acting between neighboring molecules. Whereasthermal energy is the measure of the sum of the kinetic energy of the individual molecules and particles.
