1. Intermolecular forces are the forces between molecules, while chemical bonds are the forces within molecules.
2. Chemical bonds combine atoms into molecules, thus forming chemical substances, while intermolecular forces bind molecules together.
3. Chemical bonding involves the sharing or transferring of electrons, while intermolecular forces do not change the electron stucture of atoms.
4. Intermolecular forces hold objects together, while chemical bonds hold molecules together.

∙ 12y ago1. Some covalent bonds are dipolar, which is one of the intermolecular forces.
2. Molecules of hard or brittle substances are often structured as a crystal, which is similar to some ionic crystals.
3. Intermolecular forces and some chemical bonds are based on the attraction of opposite charges.
4. The physical properties of objects are determined by both the object's intermolecular forces and the chemical bonding of the object's molecules.

Why is the boiling point of phenol greater than alcohol?
This is because the intermolecular forces holding the molecules of phenol together are stronger than the intermolecular forces holding the molecules of alcohol together.
What makes gas molecules different from liquid and solid molecules?
Mainly their weak intermolecular forces.
What is the intermolecular forces of CH3F?
These are polar forces, intermolecular forces of attraction between molecules.
Why boiling point is low when intermolecular forces are weak?
Molecules that have strong intermolecular forces are held together more strongly. In order for a substance to boil, it's molecules must separate and gain energy. Because molecules with stronger intermolecular forces are held together more strongly it takes more energy to move them apart, hence the higher boiling point
What is the intermolecular force of Ch2Br2?
Dipole forces and London forces are present as intermolecular forces in these molecules.
Which holds large numbers of different molecules together?
Intermolecular force holds large numbers of different molecules together.
What forces typically hold separate molecules together?
intermolecular forces D:

What type of intermolecular forces hold morphine molecules together?
hydrogen bonds

These are polar forces, intermolecular forces of attraction between molecules.
Why do gases difuses but not solid?
The intermolecular forces holding gas molecules together are not very strong and thus the molecules are free to move around freely. This allows diffusion. The intermolecular forces holding molecules of a solid together are rather strong, and the molecules thus cannot move very freely. This prevents diffusion.
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.

What is the result of intermolecular forces being repulsive and attractive at varying distance?
Hydrogen bonds
What type of forces hold subatomic forces together?
between molecules the forces are called intermolecular forces, and between the atoms in a molecule they are called inramolecular forces
