The intermolecular forces that are responsible for the dissolution of Ethylene glycol in water is hydrogen bonding dipole-dipole forces and dispersion forces.
Both ethylene glycol and water contains the pair of hydrogen and oxygen.
The hydrogen of one atom create a bond with the oxygen of other atom this results in the formation of intra molecular hydrogen bonding.
The electron are non uniformly distributed over the molecule or the atom which results in the fluctuation of the electron density in the atom.
So it creates are dispersion forces which is present all over the molecule this forces helps to increase the strength of the bond formed between the ethylene glycol and water because they have large masses.
Both ethylene glycol and water are polar molecules because of being polar they form dipole and the dipole of both the molecules interact with each other in order to form bond between the atoms which eventually results in the formation dissolution of ethylene glycol in water.
