The intermolecular force that most significantly affects the melting point is hydrogen bonding. This strong type of dipole-dipole interaction occurs between molecules that have hydrogen atoms bonded to highly electronegative atoms like nitrogen, oxygen, or fluorine. The presence of hydrogen bonds requires more energy to break during the melting process, leading to higher melting points compared to substances that primarily experience weaker forces, such as van der Waals (London dispersion) forces or dipole-dipole interactions.
Hydrogen bonding, which is the strongest of the intermolecular forces.
Stearic acid since it is nonpolar and H2O is polar.
Intermolecular forces are weak in gases.
When gas is released in a container the gas molecules spread all over the container and show that they have least force of attraction.
when salt is added to ice, salt being an impurity, reduces the inter molecular space between ice molecules. As we know that ice, in order to melt, contracts, i.e reduces the inter molecular space between its molecules. salt increases this activity and so ice melts at a lower temperature than it usually does. i.e salt decreases the melting point of ice.

Intermolecular forces are weak in gases.
The cause is just this weak intermolecular force, ease to be broken.
Ionic bond is only interatomic and based on electrostatic attraction.
No. They are inter molecular forces acting between two different molecules.
The melting and boiling points of molecular compounds are generally quite low compared to those of ionic compounds. This is because the energy required to disrupt the inter molecular forces between molecules is far less than the energy required to break the ionic bonds in a crystalline ionic compound.
Inter-particle force, also known intermolecular force, are forces of attraction and repulsion which act between neighboring particles. compared to intramolecular forces, they are a weak force.
When gas is released in a container the gas molecules spread all over the container and show that they have least force of attraction.

The inter-molecular bonds between the atoms/molecules are broken, releasing the atoms/molecules from a ridged structure to a freely moving mass.
