Intermolecular forces are the forces between molecules which hold two or more of them together; intramolecular forces happen inside of the molecule, & are the forces holding the atoms together witch form the molecule.

Intramolecular forces are the forces within a molecule or between atoms or different parts of a molecule.

Intermolecular forces are the forces between two molecules.

It is normally said that intramolecular forces are stronger because they involve chemical bonding and that is certainly correct. The energy necessary to break chemical bonds typically dramatically exceeds the energy associated with forces between to distinct molecules.

One occasionally hears the term intramolecular forces being used to refer to the interaction between two different parts of a large molecule, such as two segments of a protein. When the chemical bonding of adjacent atoms is not included in the discussion of intramolecular forces, then the general statement that they are stronger than intermolecular forces is no longer true. The details of the molecules and atoms and the nature of the forces will determine the strengths.

intramolecular b/c dealing with HCl it takes way more energy to break H and Cl bond than to separate 2HCl molecules(intermolecular)

Intermolecular forces are forces that act between distinct molecules. Hydrogen bonding, dispersion forces, and dipole forces are examples of intermolecular forces. Intramolecular forces act on the atoms within a molecule. Covalent bonds are one example of an intramolecular force.

Intermolecular forces are involved in two different molecules. Intramolecular forces are involved in two segments of a single molecule. Their strength is determined by the groups involved in a bond, not in the factor of intermolecular or not.

Think of intramolecular as within the molecules, because intra menas within. Also think of intermolecular as between molecules, becasue inter means in between.

Intermolecular force is stronger than intramolecular force since intermolecular force has stronger covalent bonds in order to hold hydrogen atoms in water.

What type of force exists Between Molecules?

There are only four ways that substances interact, or if you prefer, four forces in the universe. They are gravity, the weak nuclear force, electro-magnetic, and the strong nuclear force. In molecules ( presumably in liquid or gaseous states ) they will be slightly pulled together by gravity, but it is the electro-magnetic force that governs everything else. Whether they bind together, break down into component atoms or simpler molecules, form new compunds, etc. is all part of the electro-magnetic interaction.
