Intermolecular Force
The forces of attraction or repulsion which act between neighboring particles (atoms, molecules, or ions).
Dispersion Forces
Weak forces resulting from temporary polarization of molecules due to the movement of electrons, also known as London dispersion forces.
Van Der Waals
Weak forces of attraction between molecules, named after Dutch physicist Johannes Diderik van der Waals, significant in the properties of gases and liquids.
