1. van der Waal's forces

   In molecular physics, the van der Waals force is a distance-dependent interaction between atoms or molecules. Unlike ionic or covalent bonds, these attractions do not result from a chemical electronic bond; they are comparatively weak and therefore more susceptible to disturbance. The van der Waals force quickly vanishes at longer distances between interacting molecules. Named after Dutch physicist Johannes Diderik van der Waals, the van der Waals force plays a fundamental role in fields as diverse as supramolecular chemistry, structural biology, polymer science, nanotechnology, surface science, and condensed matter physics. It also underlies many properties of organic compounds and molecular solids, including their solubility in polar and non-polar media. If no other force is present, the distance between atoms at which the force becomes repulsive rather than attractive as the atoms approach one another is called the van der Waals contact distance; this phenomenon results from the mutual repulsion between the atoms' electron clouds.The van der Waals forces are usually described as a combination of the London dispersion forces between "instantaneously induced dipoles", Debye forces between permanent dipoles and induced dipoles, and the Keesom force between permanent molecular dipoles whose rotational orientations are dynamically averaged over time.

1. van der waal's forces

   Van der Waals forces refer to a set of weak intermolecular forces that exist between atoms, molecules, and surfaces. Named after Dutch physicist Johannes Diderik van der Waals, they include attractions and repulsions due to dispersion forces (also known as London forces), dipole-dipole interactions, and dipole-induced dipole interactions. These forces play a significant role in many physical and chemical properties of compounds such as their boiling point, melting point, viscosity, and solubility.
