They vary depending on the molecules under consideration. They are all electrostatic in nature deriving from the interaction of permanent or instantaneous dipoles. They are lumped together as Van der Waals forces but can be considered to be of 3 types:-
hydrogen bonding
In almost all hydrocarbons, the only type of intermolecular forces that exists is the London forces (Van der Waals forces).
These are polar forces, intermolecular forces of attraction between molecules.
Dipole forces and London forces are present as intermolecular forces in these molecules.
they are malleable
hydrogen bonding
all such forces are intermolecular forces.
In almost all hydrocarbons, the only type of intermolecular forces that exists is the London forces (Van der Waals forces).
The main intermolecular forces between water molecules are hydrogen bonds which are pretty strong as far as intermolecular forces go. Between hydrocarbon chains (oil) the main intermolecular force are London force which are weaker. For two liquids to be miscible the intermolecular forces between them have to be similar in strength or they won't dissolve. Water and oil have different strengths of intermolecular bonds so don't mix.
