A
Hydrogen bonding
B

C
Dipole-dipole interaction
D
Covalent bond
Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the difference between intermolecular and intramolecular forces. Intermolecular forces are forces of attraction or repulsion between molecules, while intramolecular forces hold atoms together within a molecule.
Review the given options: Hydrogen bonding, London dispersion force, Dipole-dipole interaction, and Covalent bond.
Recognize that Hydrogen bonding, London dispersion forces, and Dipole-dipole interactions are all types of intermolecular forces because they occur between molecules.
Recall that a Covalent bond is an intramolecular force because it involves the sharing of electrons between atoms within a molecule, holding the atoms together.
Conclude that the correct answer is the Covalent bond, as it is NOT an intermolecular force but an intramolecular force.
