Molecules interact through various intermolecular forces, which are essential to understanding their behavior and properties. When an electron is on one side of a molecule, it creates a momentary attraction due to the exposure of a positive area to a negative area, leading to an attraction between molecules.
In molecules that apply, there is a partial negative charge on one end of a functional group while there is a partial positive charge on the other.
This causes the opposite sided charges of molecules to attract to one another

A bond involving only H bonded to either O,N, or F. Opposite (partial) charged portions of one functional group join with the other.
If an electron is found on one side of a molecule, there's a momentary attraction, as a positive area of one molecule is exposed to a negative area of one molecules, therefore attracting. A negative
