## Intramolecular Forces Overview
* Definition: Forces that act WITHIN a molecule to hold atoms together.
* Importance: Determines chemical identity, stability, reactivity, and molecular geometry.

## The 4 Main Types of Bonds
1. **Covalent Bonding**: Atoms share electron pairs. Includes nonpolar (equal sharing, e.g., H2) and polar (unequal sharing, e.g., H2O).
2. **Ionic Bonding**: Complete transfer of electrons resulting in electrostatic attraction between ions.
3. **Metallic Bonding**: Attraction between positive ions and a 'sea' of free electrons; responsible for electrical conductivity and malleability.
4. **Coordinate Covalent Bond**: Both electrons in a shared pair originate from the same atom (e.g., Ammonium ion NH4+).

## Bond Strength & Data
* **Covalent Bond Energies (C-C)**:
    * Single (C-C): 347 kJ/mol
    * Double (C=C): 614 kJ/mol
    * Triple (C≡C): 839 kJ/mol (Shortest and strongest).

## Intramolecular vs. Intermolecular
* **Intramolecular**: Within molecules, very strong (e.g., Covalent).
* **Intermolecular**: Between molecules, weak (e.g., Hydrogen bonding).

## Real World Examples
* Water: Covalent bonding
* Table Salt: Ionic bonding
* Copper Wire: Metallic bonding
