What is the magnitude of individual Van der Waals interactions?
Correct Answer: A — 4.0 to 1.2 kJ/mol
Van der Waals forces are driven by induced electrical interactions between two or more atoms or molecules that are very close to each other. Van der Waals interaction is the weakest of all intermolecular attractions between molecules. However, with a lot of Van der Waals forces interacting between two objects, the interaction can be very strong.
