Step 1

The forces of attraction existing among the molecules of a substance that belong to any state of matter are termed as intermolecular forces. These forces are responsible for the structural features and physical properties of the substances. These forces which exist within the same molecules or a polyatomic ion, affect the chemical properties also.
