Ionic bonding is the strongest type of intermolecular force and is responsible for the high melting points of solid salts. In ionic bonding, positive and negative ions are held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction.
The intermolecular force that exists in all molecules is known as London dispersion forces, or van der Waals forces. These forces arise from temporary fluctuations in electron density within molecules, creating instantaneous dipoles that induce similar dipoles in neighboring molecules. Although they are generally weak compared to other intermolecular forces, such as hydrogen bonds or dipole-dipole interactions, London dispersion forces are universal and play a significant role in the physical properties of substances.
Solid matter typically has the maximum intermolecular forces compared to liquids and gases. This is because the particles in a solid are closely packed together, allowing for stronger attractions between them such as van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonding, and dipole-dipole interactions.
Boiling point is a property not a force; but a high boiling point indicate a strong intermolecular force.

London dispersion forces would affect the melting point the least, as they are the weakest intermolecular force. They are caused by temporary fluctuations in electron density, making them generally less influential on physical properties compared to other intermolecular forces such as hydrogen bonding or dipole-dipole interactions.
In the case of a covalent bond, the intramolecular force is stronger than the intermolecular force. The covalent bond holds atoms together within a molecule, while intermolecular forces are weaker interactions between molecules.
Van der Waals forces
Molecules are held together by intermolecular forces such as covalent, ionic, or hydrogen bonds, not gravitational force. Gravitational force is much weaker compared to these intermolecular forces and is more relevant on a larger scale, such as between planets or stars.
Ionic bonding is the strongest type of intermolecular force and is responsible for the high melting points of solid salts. In ionic bonding, positive and negative ions are held together by strong electrostatic forces of attraction.
The force responsible for giving a solid its shape is typically intermolecular forces between its particles. These forces hold the particles together in a specific arrangement, which determines the solid's shape.

This is an intermolecular force.
The buoyant force on an object submerged in a liquid is equal to the weight of the displaced liquid. The density of the liquid affects the buoyant force as denser liquids will exert a greater buoyant force on an object compared to less dense liquids.
The dominant intermolecular force in CH2Br2 is London dispersion forces. These forces arise from temporary fluctuations in electron density that create temporary dipoles. There may also be some contribution from dipole-dipole interactions due to the presence of polar C-Br bonds.
