How does the melting point of a substance indicate the strength of its intermolecular forces of attraction?

(N/A) The melting point of a substance is a direct measure of the strength of its intermolecular forces of attraction.
Stronger intermolecular forces require more energy (in the form of heat) to overcome the attraction between particles and transition the substance from a solid state to a liquid state.
Therefore,a higher melting point indicates that the particles are held together by stronger intermolecular forces,while a lower melting point indicates weaker forces.
