Key Points
Difference between intermolecular and intramolecular forces:
Sr.No | Intermolecular forces | Intramolecular forces |
1. | The forces that bind individual molecules in a substance are called intermolecular forces. | Forces that hold atoms in a molecule are called intramolecular forces. |
2. | The intermolecular forces are much weaker than intramolecular forces. | The intramolecular forces are much stronger than intermolecular forces. |
3. | Intermolecular forces determine the state of matter (solid/liquid/gas) and their physical properties such as melting/ boiling point etc. | Intramolecular forces determine the chemical behavior of a substance. |
4. | The strength of intermolecular forces is more for solid than liquid and then for gas. | The strength is relative to the electronegativity of the 2 atoms in the molecule. |
5. | Intermolecular forces are attractive forces. | Intramolecular forces are chemical bonds. |
EXPLANATION:
- So from the above discussion, it's clear that as intramolecular forces hold the molecule from inside and molecules are present in all solid, liquid, gas.
