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

Van der Waals interaction (also known as London dispersion energies) Van der Waals (VDW) interactions are probably the most basic type of interaction

Intermolecular interactions are contributed by charge (q), dipole (u) and induced dipole (a) The following interactions have power law of r-6
