Which molecule has the most significant intermolecular force?
May 20, 2018 · The three major types of intermolecular interactions are dipole–dipole interactions, London dispersion forces (these two are often referred to collectively as van der Waals forces), and hydrogen bonds.

London dispersion forces are the weakest type of intermolecular bond. They exist between all atoms and molecules. Molecular elements (oxygen, nitrogen etc) and monatomic elements (the noble...
Intermolecular forces are generally much weaker than covalent bonds. For example, it requires 927 kJ to overcome the intramolecular forces and break both O–H bonds in 1 mol of water, but it takes only about 41 kJ to overcome the intermolecular attractions and convert 1 mol of liquid water to water vapor at 100°C.
Intramolecular forces are the chemical bonds holding the atoms together in the molecules. The three major types of chemical bonds are the metallic bond, the ionic bond, and the covalent bond.
Hydrogen bonds are much weaker than covalent bonds, only about 5 to 10% as strong, but are generally much stronger than other dipole-dipole attractions and dispersion forces. Hydrogen bonds have a pronounced effect on the properties of condensed phases (liquids and solids).

Dec 27, 2013 · Intermolecular bonds are forces of attraction between two neighboring particles (atoms, molecules or ions). They are much weaker than intramolecular bonds like covalent bonds. Examples of intermolecular bonds include: dipole-dipole interactions, Van der Waals forces, and hydrogen bonds.
