    Let us understand the types of given intermolecular forces

    a) dipole-dipole : this is present between two polar molecules having permanent dipole

    eXample : dipole dipole interaction between HCl-HCl molecule

    b) dipole induced dipole : here a polar molecule having a dipole induces dipole in another non polar molecule due to attraction / repulsion for electrons and attraction / repulsion for nucleus.

    c) hydrogen bond : the interaction between a hydrogen atom bonded with a highly electr-onegative element (F, O or N) and another highly electro-negative element (F, O or N)

    Example Water-water

    d) london dispersion : these are weekest of all the intermcolecular forces and are between the electrons of one molecule / atom and nucleus of another molecules.

    The strongest intermolecular forces is hydrogen bond
