Van der Waals Forces - Weak intermolecular_forces including dipole-dipole and london_dispersion forces.

Energy relation:

Strength factors:

• Molecular size
• polarisability
• Surface contact area
• Temperature

Typical energies:

• Dispersion: 0.1-1 kJ/mol
• Dipole-dipole: 1-10 kJ/mol
• H-bonding: 10-40 kJ/mol
