    Intermolecular forces (IMF) are the forces which mediate interaction between molecules, including forces of attraction or repulsion which act between molecules and other types of neighboring particles, e. g., atoms or ions.

    Hydrogen bonds: This type of intermolecular bond involves a hydrogen atom. When a molecule contains a hydrogen atom covalently bonded to a small, highly electronegative atom (e. g. O, N or F) this type of intermolecular force can occur. Due to the presence of an O-H bond in CH3CH2COOH, we can expect a hydogen bond.

    Dipole forces: Dipole moments occur when there is a separation of charge. When one dipole molecule comes into contact with another dipole molecule, the positive pole of the one molecule will be attracted to the negative pole of the other, and the molecules will be held together in this way. Absence of a dipole means absence of these force.

    Induced dipole forces: These forces exist between dipoles and non-polar molecules. The dipole induces a dipole in the non-polar molecule leading to a weak, short lived force which holds the compounds together. Absence of a dipole means absence of these force.

    Hydrogen bonding, if H is bonded to F, N, or O, it's IMF is hydrogen bonding.
