Answer

Molecular crystals have dispersion forces, dipole-dipole forces, and hydrogen bonds between one another.

Work Step by Step

Molecular crystals can have dipole moments and therefore exhibit dipole-dipole forces with one another. Molecular crystals can also contain OH, NH, or HF groups which allow for hydrogen bonding. Molecular crystals also exhibit dispersion forces with one another.
