Intramolecular forces are the forces that hold the atoms within a molecule together. These forces are essential for the stability and integrity of molecules and are responsible for the chemical properties of substances. There are three primary types of intramolecular forces: 1. **Covalent Bonds**: These occur when atoms share pairs of electrons. For example, in a water molecule (H₂O), the hydrogen and oxygen atoms are held together by covalent bonds.
