Summary
Van der Waals forces
are
weak intermolecular interactions
that occur between molecules due to
temporary dipoles
and
induced dipoles
, playing a crucial role in the
physical properties of substances
such as boiling and
melting points
. These forces include
London dispersion forces
, dipole-dipole interactions, and
dipole-induced dipole interactions
, and are significant in
non-covalent bonding scenarios
like those found in
biological systems
and
materials science
.
