i'm looking into the physics behind surface tension, and am a little confused about the intermolecular forces that act on the liquid. I understand that hydrogen bonding occurs because of the positive and negative atoms in a water molecule. However, i am unsure of exactly what other forces occur. i keep coming across things like intermolecular, van der waals, london dispersion and cohesive. What are all the forces exactly? thanks
