How does polarity affect the strength of intramolecular force?

Re: Strength of intramolecular forces due to polarity
If you have a substance with nonpolar molecules , the only Intermolecular Forces of Attraction that exist are London-Dispersion forces, which are very weak. Therefore, a polar substance will have a stronger attraction between its molecules than a substance with nonpolar molecules.

Re: Strength of intramolecular forces due to polarity
Between two polar molecules, such as HF and HF, there are dipole-diploe interactions going on. It is a slightly greater intermolecular attractive force than the dispersion force between two non-polar molecules.

Polar molecules can bond with each other via dipole-dipole interactions, which are generally stronger than van der Waals forces.

Re: Strength of intramolecular forces due to polarity
a good way to remember that polar molecules form dipole dipole interactions between them is the fact that the word "pole" of polar is in the name dipole.
Re: Strength of intramolecular forces due to polarity
Usually, increasing the polarization of bonds increases the strength of the intermolecular forces
