In (school) chemistry, the term "interactions" describes the type of attractive forces between particles of a substance that are normally freely movable. The following is a list from weak to strong:

  1. Van der Waals interaction
  2. Dipole-dipole interaction
  3. hydrogen bond
  4. Ionic attraction/ionic bonding

As you can already tell from the words, the last two are "real" bonds, so one could debate whether they still meet the criterion of interaction. (This is actually irrelevant for school purposes.) For school purposes, it's sufficient if you know these four and can explain each of them in a few sentences.
