Not exactly sure what you're asking but I'll give it a shot. Intermolecular forces do not change when a substance undergoes a phase change, such as when something goes from a solid to a liquid. The same intermolecular forces that existed when something was a solid still exist when it changes to a liquid, and vice versa. Its just that with the addition of an external factor (most commonly an increase in temperature) a substance is able to overcome the attractive forces in the solid and break apart into a liquid or when a liquid turns into a gas. For when something freezes or condenses the opposite happens, an external factor (most commonly a decrease in temperature) causes a given substance to be attracted to itself more strongly and then the substances comes together as either a liquid or a solid.
In summary: The forces do not change. Just how much the forces effect the overall substance changes.

How do the molecules of a solid differ from the molecules in a gas?
In solid, the molecules r tightly packed by intermolecular forces, but in gas these forces r very loose.

The intermolecular forces are hydrogen bonding.
How do thermal and intermolecular forces behave with each other?
When there is more thermal energy, then there are less intermolecular forces.
Are all solids the same shape?
no solids are not in same shape they differ according to their shape and size due to intermolecular forces of attraction. submitted by sapan
