Question

what are known as vanderwalls forces ?

Answer 1

Answer:

Van der Waals forces' is a general term used to define the attraction of intermolecular forces between molecules. There are two kinds of Van der Waals forces: weak London Dispersion Forces and stronger dipole-dipole forces.

Answer 2

Answer:

Van der Waals forces include attraction and repulsions between atoms, molecules, and surfaces, as well as other intermolecular forces. They differ from covalent and ionic bonding in that they are caused by correlations in the fluctuating polarizations of nearby particles. Examples of van der Waals forces include hydrogen bonding, dispersion forces, and dipole-dipole interactions.
