A) They are very strong.
B) They are attractive forces.
C) They operate over very short distances.

Van Der Waal Interactions

Weak attractions between molecules or parts of molecules that result from transient local partial charges.

Nonpolar Molecules

Molecules that do not possess distinct poles or charges, making them not easily soluble in water.

Attractive Forces

Forces that cause particles or objects to move toward one another, including gravitational, electromagnetic, and molecular interactions.
