Question

what is intermolecular forces of attraction??

Answer 1

Intermolecular forces (IMF) are the forces which mediate interaction between molecules, including forces of attraction or repulsion which act between molecules and other types of neighboring particles, e.g., atoms or ions.

Answer 2

There exists some force of attraction between the molecules of matter , this force of attraction is known as intermolecular forces of attraction.

It is also known as Cohesive force .

Additional Data :

The force of attraction is very strong between the particles of solid.

The force of attraction between the particles of liquid is lesser than that of solid particles.

There exists negligible force of attraction among the particles of gas.
