Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-006006
A prefix indicating that a phenomenon, reaction, or interaction occurs within a single molecule or entity. This contrasts with intermolecular processes, which involve multiple distinct molecules. An example is an intramolecular hydrogen bond, where the hydrogen bond forms between atoms within the same molecule, influencing its conformation.
