The primary intermolecular force present in tetraphosphorus (P4) is London dispersion forces, which are a type of van der Waals force. These forces arise due to temporary fluctuations in electron density that create instantaneous dipoles, leading to induced dipoles in neighboring molecules. While P4 is nonpolar and has no significant dipole-dipole interactions or hydrogen bonding, London dispersion forces are sufficient to account for its physical properties, such as its relatively low melting and boiling points compared to polar substances.
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
The intermolecular force between P4 molecules is van der Waals forces, specifically dispersion forces. These forces result from temporary fluctuations in electron distribution, leading to temporary dipoles that attract other nearby molecules.
intermolecular force
This is an intermolecular force.
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.
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.
Intermolecular forces shown by the dotted lines not by strong covalent bonds.
Hydrogen bonds
The strongest intermolecular force present in hydrogen bromide (HBr) is dipole-dipole interaction.
