  1. Oxygen Molecule:
    Due to its diatomic nature (O2), these forces are feeble compared to other substances discussed.

    Water Molecule:
    Possesses stronger intermolecular forces attributed to hydrogen bonding.
    Hydrogen bonding occurs due to the polarity of water molecules, resulting in a powerful force of attraction between water molecules.

    Sugar Molecule:
    Demonstrates significantly stronger intermolecular forces compared to oxygen and water.
    Features multiple hydrogen bonds and various dipole-dipole interactions between molecules.
