What is vender wall force
Dear student
Van der walls forces:
A weak attractive force between atoms or nonpolar molecules caused by a temporary change in dipole moment arising from a brief shift of orbital electrons to one side of one atom or molecule, creating a similar shift in adjacent atoms or molecules.
The van der Waals force is originated by the attraction between electron-rich regions of one molecule and electron-poor regions of another. The attraction is much weaker than a chemical bond.
The intermolecular is
-
Attractive and repulsive forces between interacting particles (atoms and molecules)
-
Do not include ionic and covalent bonds
-
Attractive intermolecular forces are known as van der Waals forces.
