A weak, short-range attractive force between atoms or molecules caused by their dipole moments, often arising in otherwise nonpolar atoms or molecules from a temporary...
London dispersion forces are the weakest component of Van der Waals interactions. They arise from attractions between instantaneously induced dipoles on neighbouring atoms. Their relative weakness, in particular for light atoms, such as hydrogen, has led to their importance being largely ignored in disc...

What causes a dispersion force? Dispersion forces are very small, so why are they important in biochemistry?Dispersion Force:The interactive attraction force between ions, dipoles, induced dipoles, or electrons is known as the dispersion force. Dispersion force is ...

Dispersion forces, also called van der Waals forces, ‘arise because local fluctuations in the polarization within one particle induce, via the propagation of electromagnetic waves, a correlated response in the other’ (Russel et al., 1992). For two particles made of the same isotropic matter, ...
in symmetry of the electron cloud that causes a momentary dipole moment and attractive/repulsive charges. The larger a molecule is and the more electrons it has, the more polarizable it will be, and thus the larger the London forces can be. Molecular shape and other factors are also ...
several different types including dipole-dipole forces, London dispersion forces, hydrogen bonds and ion-dipole forces (operate between ions and molecules).These intermolecular forces are electrical in origin and results from the mutual attraction of unlike charges or the mutual repulsion of like ...
