Intermolecular forces are any forces exerted on neighboring molecules of a given compound. The forces are not the actual chemical bonds present in the substance, but rather the substances own attractiveness to its own molecules. These intermolecular forces play a crucial role in determining a compounds various physical properties such as but not limited to :solubility, melting point, boiling point, density.
