C5H12, also known as pentane, primarily exhibits London dispersion forces as its intermolecular bonding. These forces arise from temporary dipoles that occur when electron distributions around molecules fluctuate. Since pentane is a nonpolar molecule, it does not engage in dipole-dipole interactions or hydrogen bonding. Consequently, its physical properties, such as boiling and melting points, are influenced mainly by the strength of these dispersion forces.
Boiling point is a property not a force; but a high boiling point indicate a strong intermolecular force.
Intermolecular attraction
Pentane is C5H12 The Structure is as follows. CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3
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.
not an (F,O,N) atom therefore it has no H bond, it has no dipole dipole interactions, plus London forces are weak. Which is why it has a a very low critical temperature.

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.
