Forces of attraction include intramolecular and intermolecular forces. Intramolecular forces like ionic bonds and covalent bonds hold atoms together in molecules through electrostatic attraction or electron sharing. Intermolecular forces between molecules include hydrogen bonding, dipole-dipole interactions, and induced dipole forces from electron motion. These weaker forces influence melting/boiling points and physical states. Polar molecules form stronger intermolecular attractions than nonpolar molecules through orientations of their charge distributions.
