What are forces between molecules in a solid called?

all such forces are intermolecular forces.

obesity


What is the most important type of intermolecular forces between fat molecules and petroleum ether molecules?

that would be dipole-dipole forces


Explain why oil does not dissolve in water.?

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.


How do intermolecular forces determine a substance's state?

If the intermolecular forces are great enough they can hold the molecules together as a liquid. If they are even stronger they will hold the molecules together as a solid. Water has nearly the same mass as methane and ammonia molecules, but the greater molecular forces between water molecules causes the water to be liquid at room temperature, while ammonia and methane, with weaker intermolecular forces, are gases at room temperature.
