The right answer is True.

Intermolecular forces are forces of essentially electrostatic nature inducing an attraction or repulsion between chemical particles (atoms, molecules or ions). These forces are generally much weaker than the intramolecular forces that ensure the association of atoms in the molecules.

In these intermolecular forces, we distinguish:

* Van der Waals forces, electrostatic in nature,

* Hydrogen bonds of higher intensity (see comparative table below) and of a partially covalent nature;

* The halogen bonds.


Thus the intermolecular bonds depend on the availability of hydrogenes and oxygenes and free doublets present in the atoms of the molecule, and thus it depends on the structure.
