The van der Waals (VDW) attractive forces are the principal forces between dry, noncharged spherical aerosol particles [262] and may reduce stability and cause flocculation of suspended particles. The VDW forces arise from the attractive forces between permanent dipoles (Keesom forces), induced dipoles (London forces), and dipole-induced dipoles (Debye forces). For nonpolar or slightly polar compounds, the force of attraction between two particles with diameter d separated by a distance h (where h < d) is ... 

Note that temperature is a parameter of the equation. As the material temperature rises during processing, the value of orientation energy becomes negligible. In a typical system conflicting dipole fields are created which significantly reduce dipole-dipole net interaction. Keesom forces, unlike London forces, do not apply to nonpolar substances because both dipoles, which participate in the interaction, must be permanent dipoles (London forces do not require the presence of permanent dipoles). 

The van der Waals attraction between gas molecules may originate from three possible sources permanent dipole-permanent dipole (Keesom) forces permanent dipole-induced dipole (Debye) interactions and transitory dipole-transitory dipole (London) forces. This, of course, ignores the higher multipole interactions. Only the classical London dispersion forces contribute to the long-range attraction between colloidal particles. These London interactions are the self-same forces that are responsible for the liquefaction of the rare gases, such as helium and argon, at low temperatures.

The term polymer is derived from the Greek words poly and meros, meaning many parts. We noted in the last section that the existence of these parts was acknowledged before the nature of the interaction which held them together was known. Today we realize that ordinary covalent bonds are the intramolecular forces which keep the polymer molecule intact. In addition, the usual type of intermolecular forces—hydrogen bonds, dipole-dipole interactions, and London forces—hold assemblies of these molecules together in the bulk state. The only thing that is remarkable about these molecules is their size, but that feature is remarkable indeed. 

Until surface contact, the force between molecules is always one of attraction, although this attraction has different origins in different systems. London forces, dipole-dipole attractions, acid-base interactions, and hydrogen bonds are some of the types of attraction we have in mind. In the foregoing list, London forces are universal and also the weakest of the attractions listed. The interactions increase in strength and also in specificity in the order listed. 

As previously mentioned, electrodynamic interactions, such as those arising from London forces, can also contribute to the adhesion of particles. These forces are dominated by dipole interactions and are broadly lumped into the classification known as van der Waals interactions. A more detailed description of van der Waals interactions than can be presented in this article is given in books by Israelachvili [95] and by Rimai and Quesnel [96]. 

There are three types of interactions that contribute to van der Waals forces. These are interactions between freely rotating permanent dipoles (Keesom interactions), dipole-induced dipole interaction (Debye interactions), and instantaneous dip le-induced dipole (London dispersion interactions), with the total van der Waals force arising from the sum. The total van der Waals interaction between materials arise from the sum of all three of these contributions. 

Van der Waals forces involving induced dipoles are often called London forces, or dispersion forces. 

The dispersion (London) force is a quantum mechanieal phenomenon. At any instant the electronic distribution in molecule 1 may result in an instantaneous dipole moment, even if 1 is a spherieal nonpolar moleeule. This instantaneous dipole induces a moment in 2, which interacts with the moment in 1. For nonpolar spheres the induced dipole-induced dipole dispersion energy function is... 

In many electron atoms the maximum contributions to the polarizability and to London forces arise from configurations with more than one electron contributing to the net dipole moment of the atom. But in such configurations the electronic repulsion is especially high. The physical meaning to be attributed to the Qkl terms is just the additional electron repulsive energy which these configurations require. 

SOLUTION The data in Fig. 2.12 show that electronegativity differences decrease from 1 HC1 to HI, and so the dipole moments decrease as well. Therefore, dipole-dipole forces decrease, too, a trend suggesting that the boiling points should decrease from HQ to HI. This prediction conflicts with the data so we examine the London forces. The number of electrons in a molecule increases from HQ to HI, and so the strength of the London interaction increases, too. Therefore, the boiling points should increase from HCl to HI, in accord with the data. This analysis suggests that London forces dominate dipole-dipole interactions for these molecules. 

London force The force of attraction that arises from the interaction between instantaneous electric dipoles on neighboring molecules. 

In molecular crystals, there are two levels of bonding intra—within the molecules, and inter—between the molecules. The former is usually covalent or ionic, while the latter results from photons being exchanged between molecules (or atoms) rather than electrons, as in the case of covalent bonds. The hardnesses of these crystals is determined by the latter. The first quantum mechanical theory of these forces was developed by London so they are known as London forces (they are also called Van der Waals, dispersion, or dipole-dipole forces).
