what is the difference between intermolecular forces and intramolecular forces
.Intermolecular forces are the forces between molecules which hold two or more of them together; intramolecular forces happen inside of the molecule, & are the forces holding the atoms together witch form the molecule.
An intramolecular force is any force that holds together the atoms making up a molecule or compound.They contain all types of chemical bond. They are stronger than intermolecular forces, which are present between atoms or molecules that are not actually bonded.
Intermolecular forces are forces of attraction or repulsion which act between neighboring particles (atoms, molecules or ions). They are weak compared to the intramolecular forces, the forces which keep a molecule together. For example, the covalent bond present within HCl molecules is much stronger than the forces present between the neighbouring molecules, which exist when the molecules are sufficiently close to each other.
