The intermolecular forces present in salt (sodium chloride, NaCl) are primarily ionic bonds. These strong electrostatic forces occur between the positively charged sodium ions (Na⁺) and negatively charged chloride ions (Cl⁻). In a solid state, these ionic bonds create a lattice structure, leading to salt's characteristic high melting and boiling points. Additionally, when dissolved in water, salt dissociates into its ions, allowing for ion-dipole interactions with water molecules.
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.
The physical state of matter with the least intermolecular force is a gas, where particles are far apart and move freely. Conversely, the state with the greatest intermolecular force is a solid, where particles are closely packed in a fixed arrangement. Liquids fall in between, with moderate intermolecular forces allowing for both some degree of particle movement and a defined shape.
Ionic bonds between the sodium and chloride ions in salt are broken as the salt dissolves in water. This is due to the attraction between the ions and the partially charged ends of water molecules, known as ion-dipole interactions.
intermolecular force
This is an intermolecular force.
Because salt consumes intermolecular space
Boiling point is a property not a force; but a high boiling point indicate a strong intermolecular force.

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.
The physical state of matter with the least intermolecular force is a gas, where particles are far apart and move freely. Conversely, the state with the greatest intermolecular force is a solid, where particles are closely packed in a fixed arrangement. Liquids fall in between, with moderate intermolecular forces allowing for both some degree of particle movement and a defined shape.
