Boiling point is a property not a force; but a high boiling point indicate a strong intermolecular force.
Intermolecular attraction
The intermolecular force in Ar (argon) is London dispersion forces, which are the weakest type of intermolecular force. This force is caused by temporary fluctuations in electron distribution around the atom, leading to temporary dipoles.
Metallic bonding
No. A covalent bond acts solely within a molecule.An intermolecular force acts between two or more separate molecules
intermolecular force
This is an intermolecular force.
CaO (calcium oxide) has a higher melting point than CS2 (carbon disulfide). This is because CaO is an ionic compound with strong electrostatic forces between ions, while CS2 is a covalent compound with weaker intermolecular forces.

Intramolecular forces are not intermolecular forces !
The intermolecular force in BF3 is London dispersion forces. This is because BF3 is a nonpolar molecule, so the only intermolecular force it experiences is the temporary weak attraction between temporary dipoles.
CaO has a higher melting point than CS2. CaO (calcium oxide) is an ionic compound with strong electrostatic forces between its ions, resulting in a higher melting point. CS2 (carbon disulfide) is a covalent compound with weaker intermolecular forces, leading to a lower melting point.
Hydrogen bonds
Intermolecular forces shown by the dotted lines not by strong covalent bonds.
