Van der Waals forces are weak intermolecular forces that are dependent on the distance between atoms or molecules These forces arise from the interactions
London Dispersion Forces are weak forces of attraction which operate between all atoms and molecules LDFs are the weakest Van der Waals forces Even the noble
Attraction between particles of the same substance ( why water is attracted to itself) • Results in Surface tension (a measure of the strength of water's

Van der Waals interaction (also known as London dispersion energies) Van der Waals (VDW) interactions are probably the most basic type of interaction
2012 Pearson Education, Inc Chapter 11 Intermolecular Forces van der Waals forces occasionally wind up on the same side of the atom
Intermolecular interactions are contributed by charge (q), dipole (u) and induced dipole (a) The following interactions have power law of r-6
strong type of dipole-dipole interaction is hydrogen bonding Only a few about different types of van der Waals forces 5 3 INTERMOLECULAR FORCES vs
2012 Pearson Education, Inc Chapter 11 Intermolecular Forces weak intermolecular forces are called: van der Waals forces on the same side of the atom
In nuclear and high-energy physics 6 fundamental forces are recognized, which between charged particles over infinite distance (in principle), is neutralized by opposite charge attractive intermolecular forces ( van der Waals forces) w r A
Johannes Diderik van der Waals, is the sum of the attractive or repulsive forces between molecules (or between parts of the same molecule) other than those
Van der Waals (VDW) interactions are probably the most basic type of interaction imaginable Any two molecules experience Van der Waals interactions Even
- temperature - pressure - The kinetic energy of the particles. - The strength of the attractions between the particles.
But much more weakly than a bond. Covalent bond strength: 50-200 kJ/mole Intermolecular force: 1-12 kJ/mole
• The dipole-dipole interactions experienced when H is bonded to N, O, or F are unusually strong.
• We call these interactions hydrogen bonds.• Ion-dipole interactions (stronger type of electrostatic interaction) are important in solutions of ions.
• The strength of these forces is what makes it possible for ionic substances to dissolve in polar solvents.While the electrons in the 1s orbital of helium would repel each other (and, therefore, tend to stay far away from each other), it does happen that they occasionally wind up on the same side of the atom.
At that instant, then, the helium atom is polar, with an excess of electrons on the left side and a shortage on the right side.
Another helium atom nearby, then, would have a dipole induced in it, as the electrons on the left side of helium atom 2 repel the electrons in the cloud on helium atom 1.
• If two molecules are of comparable size and shape, dipole-dipole interactions will likely be the dominating force.
• If one molecule is much larger than another, dispersion forces will likely determine its physical properties.The strength of the attractions between particles can greatly affect the properties of a substance or solution.
Surface tension results from the net inward force experienced by the molecules on the surface of a liquid.
