The attractions between separate molecules are called intermolecular forces (or intermolecular bonds). Common types are:
- Hydrogen bonds (strongest of the common intermolecular forces; important in water, DNA base pairing)
- Dipole–dipole interactions (between polar molecules)
- London dispersion forces (van der Waals; present between all molecules, especially important for nonpolar ones)
(Within a molecule, atoms are held together by intramolecular bonds such as covalent bonds.)
