Question

what is intermolecular force of attraction​

Answer 1

Answer:

Intermolecular forces are the forces of attraction or repulsion which act between neighboring particles (atoms, molecules, or ions ). These forces are weak compared to the intramolecular forces, such as the covalent or ionic bonds between atoms in a molecule.

Answer 2

Answer:

Attractive forces that exist between molecules is called intermolecular force of attraction.

Explanation:

Intermolecular force is a secondary force. It is the force that mediates between atoms or other neighbouring particles. Attractive intermolecular forces are classified into 4 types:

1. Hydrogen bonding:  It refers to the attraction between a hydrogen atom that is bonded to a highly electronegative atom and another of these same elements
2. ion-induced dipole forces: It is similar to dipole–induced dipole interactions but involves ions.
3. ion-dipole forces: It is stronger than hydrogen bonding.
4. van der Waals forces: It is the interaction between uncharged atoms or molecules.
