An intermolecular force is not typically referred to as an "induced force"; rather, it generally includes forces such as hydrogen bonds, dipole-dipole interactions, and London dispersion forces. Induced forces specifically refer to the temporary attractions that occur when electrons in a molecule are redistributed due to the influence of nearby charges or dipoles, leading to instantaneous dipoles. While induced forces are a type of intermolecular interaction, they are not synonymous with the broader category of intermolecular forces.
