2.10: Intermolecular Forces (IMFs) - Chemistry LibreTexts
WEBFeb 13, 2019 · Intermolecular forces (IMFs) have many useful applications in organic chemistry. For students interested in biochemistry, the concepts of IMFs are called non-covalent interactions when they occur …
Intermolecular Forces - Definition, Types, Explanation
WEBIntermolecular forces, often abbreviated to IMF, are the attractive and repulsive forces that arise between the molecules of a substance. These forces mediate the interactions between individual molecules of a substance.
Intermolecular Forces: Definition, Types, and Examples - Chemistry …
WEBIntermolecular forces, also known as intermolecular interactions, are the electrostatic forces of attraction between molecules in a compound. The intermolecular forces tend to attract the molecules together, bring them closer, and make the compound stable.
Intermolecular Forces in Chemistry - Science Notes and Projects
WEBJan 25, 2023 · The three main types of intermolecular forces are hydrogen bonding (dipole-dipole forces), ion-dipole forces (and ion-induced dipole forces), and Van der Waals forces (Debye force, London dispersion force, Keesom force).
Intermolecular force - Wikipedia
WEBAn intermolecular force (IMF; also secondary force) is the force that mediates interaction between molecules, including the electromagnetic forces of attraction or repulsion which act between atoms and other types of neighbouring particles, e.g. atoms or ions.

Intermolecular Forces | Van der Waals & Ion-Dipole - ChemTalk
WEBTypes of intermolecular forces. Van Der Waals forces. Van der Waals forces, aka Van der Waals interactions, are the weakest intermolecular force and consist of weak dipole-dipole forces and stronger London dispersion forces. They are names after the Dutch chemist Johannes van der Waals (1837-1923).
