One would expect dipole-dipole interactions, dispersion forces, and hydrogen bonding in this molecule (butyric acid). The COOH group is polar, hence dipole interaction, and the H on the OH of this molecule is available for hydrogen bonding. As with all other molecules, the weaker dispersion forces are also present.

This is attraction between the lone pair of the slightly negative oxygen atom of the carboxyl group on one molecule and the slightly positive hydrogen of the carboxyl group of the next. There is also some dipole-dipole attraction and van der Waals forces.

What does the WORD intermolecular mean?
Intermolecular describes the interactions between separate molecules.
What is the relationship between intermolecular forces and volatilit?
A volatile liquid is easy to vaporize because there are weak intermolecular attractions between its molecules. A nonvolatile liquid is difficult to vaporize because there are strong intermolecular attractions between its molecules.
