Intermolecular forces are responsible for holding various molecules and ions close to each other. Their attractive strength is significant enough to affect various physical, chemical, and biological properties.
In this chapter, we extensively cover the most potent intermolecular forces in organic chemistry - Ion-dipole, Ion-induced dipole, Vander Waals forces (Debye, Keesom, and London), and Hydrogen bonding interactions.
