Types of Intermolecular Forces

London dispersion forces, under the category of van der Waal forces: These are the weakest of the intermolecular forces and exist between all types of molecules, whether ionic or covalent—polar or nonpolar.

Exactly the same situation exists in molecules. Just imagine the towels to be real atoms, such as hydrogen and chlorine. These two atoms are bound to each other through a polar covalent bond—analogous to the thread.

Intermolecular forces are weaker than intramolecular forces but still very important. The two intermolecular forces we are talking about in this video include dipole-dipole and ion-dipole. Dipole-Dipole Forces. A dipole is a molecule that has both positive and negative regions.

Intramolecular forces are the forces that hold atoms together within a molecule. Intermolecular forces are forces that exist between molecules. Types of intramolecular forces of attraction. Ionic bond: This bond is formed by the complete transfer of valence electron(s) between atoms.
