Hi!

Intermolecular bonding refers to forces present between two or more 1-butanol molecules. You are right, Hydrogen bonding is one of them.You will also get some dipole-dipole interactions and london dispersion forces. This is due to the polar bond between the terminal oxygen and thecarbon chain.

I hope this helps! Please don't forget to rate : )
