Which of the following statements about intermolecular and intramolecular forces are correct?
Intramolecular forces occur between atoms within a molecule.
Intermolecular forces occur between molecules.
Intramolecular forces are much stronger than intermolecular forces.
Intermolecular forces are discussed in ionic bonding.

Multiple Choice
According to the figure, what happens to the potential energy of atoms as they form a hydrogen-hydrogen bond?
It decreases, leading to greater stability.
It increases, making the atoms less stable.
It remains constant.
It fluctuates randomly.
