#Unit 1. Structure and Function of Biomolecules

Dispersion or London forces are large networks of intermolecular forces between nonpolar and non-charged molecules and atoms (i.e. alkanes, noble gases, and halogens).

#Unit 1. Structure and Function of Biomolecules

Molecules that have induced dipoles may also induce neighbouring molecules to have dipole moments, so a large network of induced dipole-induced dipole interactions may exist.

#Unit 1. Structure and Function of Biomolecules

Van der Waals interactions involve instantaneous dipoles and induced dipoles that arise because of fluctuations in the electron charge distributions of adjacent nonbonded atoms.
